Crissey Field State Recreation Site

Located at the southernmost point of Oregon's coast, Crissey Field State Recreation Site extends across 40 acres of sandy beaches and wetlands next to Winchuck River.

The site inherited its name from W.L. Crissey, who cultivated lily bulbs on this land before World War II and later hosted a small airfield until 1960.

The Welcome Center demonstrates Oregon's environmental values through its sustainable design, featuring geothermal systems and solar panels that generate 20,000 kilowatt hours annually.

Visitors access the beach through a converted runway path, connecting to three hiking trails that wind through wetlands and Sitka spruce trees with minimal elevation changes.

The beach contains deposits of agates, red and green jasper, quartz, and jade, making it a prime location for mineral collectors in Oregon.
