Devil's Lake State Recreation Area, State recreation area in Lincoln City, Oregon
Devil's Lake State Recreation Area stretches along the shores of a freshwater lake near the Pacific coast. The site consists of two separate parks with access to walking trails and boating on water surrounded by forest.
The area joined Oregon's state park system between 1957 and 1961 through land purchases from private owners and support from Delake city. These additions formed the basis for the two-park layout visitors see today.
The lake's name comes from Native American stories about a mysterious spirit in its waters. These tales shape how people think about and experience the place today.
The campground offers hookup sites for vehicles, tent areas, and special accommodations from May through November. Visitors should prepare for changeable coastal weather and can enjoy swimming and fishing during the open season.
This is the only coastal campground in Oregon located within city limits, offering immediate access to shops and restaurants. This rare combination allows visitors to camp while staying near urban conveniences.
