Cummins Creek Wilderness

Located between Waldport and Florence, this 9,173-acre wilderness area contains dense rainforests and two major waterways flowing into the Pacific Ocean.

The United States Congress established Cummins Creek Wilderness in 1984 as one of three protected areas within the Siuslaw National Forest.

The wilderness bears the name of F.L. Cummins, an early settler who developed a homestead in this section of the Oregon Coast Range.

The Cummins Ridge Trail extends for 6.5 miles through the wilderness, serving as the only maintained path in this protected natural area.

This wilderness preserves the sole remaining old-growth Sitka spruce forest in Oregon, with trees reaching diameters of nine feet.
