Living in such a naturally beautiful area as Oregon makes most of us want to spend as much time outdoors exploring as we can. While Oregon’s home to a long list of hiking trails, sometimes we just feel like spending time on the water. Beaver Creek State Natural Area in Oregon offers a beautiful water trail, perfect for kayakers or canoers who want to see the state’s natural beauty from another perspective.
Brian Booth State Park in Seal Rock boasts a full menu of activities for outdoor lovers - from hiking and wildlife watching to picnicking and paddling.
