Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park, Coastal state park in Florence, Oregon, US.

Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park is a state park in Lane County, Oregon, near Florence and Yachats, administered by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. It lies about 15 metres above sea level, with a wide beach on the ocean side and forested hills rising inland. The Hobbit Trail trailhead is just south of the park at mile 177.3 on the coast highway.

The park is named for Carl G. Washburne, an Oregon Highway Commissioner in the early 1930s. The land passed to the state in 1962 through a bequest from the Narcissa Washburne Estate. It lies in Lane County near Florence and Yachats, and the Hobbit Trail trailhead sits just south of the park at mile 177.3 on the coast highway.

The Hobbit Trail begins just south of the park at mile 177.3 on the Oregon coast, a trailhead marked by its own coordinates. Dogs must stay leashed inside the park, and nearby snowy plover breeding areas ban dogs entirely. The wide beach draws kite flyers and families.

The park provides overnight lodging through tent sites and small cabins along with shower facilities and restrooms distributed across the grounds. Marked trails are suited for different ability levels, and ample parking is available for day visitors.

Two linked trails offer contrasting experiences: one passes through old growth forest with moss-covered trees, the other opens to sea views and rugged coastal ridges. Together they create a route that shows both deep forest and expansive ocean perspectives.
