Fogarty Creek State Recreation Area

Located between Lincoln City and Depoe Bay, Fogarty Creek State Recreation Area extends over 165 acres along the Pacific Ocean coastline with wooden footbridges and rocky cliffs.

The park acquired its land between 1954 and 1978, receiving its name from John Fogarty, an Irish immigrant who became a judge in Lincoln County.

The park embodies Oregon's commitment to public beach access, following the principles of the Oregon Beach Bill passed in 1967.

Visitors can access the park through two entrances on Highway 101, finding covered picnic shelters and numerous tables without requiring a parking pass.

The creek flows into the Pacific Ocean, creating protected tide pools where visitors can observe marine life among the natural rock formations.
