Lost Creek State Recreation Site, State recreation site on Pacific coast in Lincoln County, Oregon.
Lost Creek State Recreation Site is a coastal park in Oregon with forest trails, picnic areas, and direct beach access. The grounds feature wooded sections, open spaces for activities, and several viewpoints overlooking the ocean.
The site came into being in 1933 through land donations from Ben E. Smith and Lincoln County to protect shore pine vegetation. These contributions secured lasting public access to the coastline.
The recreation site represents Oregon's commitment to preserving natural spaces while providing opportunities for outdoor recreation and environmental education to residents.
The park lies about 7 miles south of Newport and is open year-round for day visits. Designated parking areas and picnic facilities are available to help with your visit planning.
An old railroad track once ran through the current park grounds from 1918 to 1920 and was used to transport spruce timber during World War I. This quiet reminder of past industrial activity is barely visible today within the peaceful forest setting.
