Port Orford Heads State Park

Port Orford Heads State Park, Coastal state park in Port Orford, United States.

Port Orford Heads State Park is a coastal reserve on elevated headlands with walking trails to overlook points. The paths lead to views of Cape Blanco, the Pacific Ocean, and the surrounding Oregon coastline.

The U.S. Coast Guard ran a lifeboat station on this bluff from 1934 to 1970, one of the earliest on the Oregon coast. The 1934 station building later became a museum opened in 2000 by the Point Orford Heritage Society. The park itself was assembled between 1972 and 1985 from private and federal land, and was established in 1976.

The museum opened in 2000 in the 1934 station building, run by the Point Orford Heritage Society. Inside is the station's refurbished 36-foot unsinkable motor lifeboat, and exhibits on the Japanese bombing of the south Oregon coast in World War II. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Port Orford Coast Guard Station.

The park is open for day use only, so plan your visit within daylight hours. Three trails — Cove, Tower and Headland — start from the bluff above Port Orford. The Headland Trail gives an open view north to Cape Blanco and is a fall whale-watching spot.

The museum holds the station's refurbished 36-foot (11 m) motor lifeboat, described as unsinkable, and displays information on the Japanese bombing of the south Oregon coast during World War II. The building itself, raised in 1934, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Port Orford Coast Guard Station.
