Rocky Creek State Scenic Viewpoint, Coastal state park in Depoe Bay, Oregon.
Rocky Creek State Scenic Viewpoint extends along the Pacific Ocean, featuring forested bluffs and offshore rocks where waves create powerful water displays.
The land was acquired through multiple transactions between 1926 and 1954, including parcels from private owners and the United States Government.
The viewpoint serves as an official Whale Spoken Here site, where visitors gather to observe gray whales during their seasonal migration patterns.
The park remains accessible throughout the year from Highway 101, offering designated paths and viewing areas for ocean observation and wildlife photography.
The elevated position of the viewpoint creates distinct weather patterns compared to sea level, contributing to a specialized ecosystem for coastal wildlife.
