Fogarty Creek State Recreation Area
- Park
- Regional draw
- Depoe Bay
Fogarty Creek State Recreation Area combines a wooded creek-side setting with access toward the Pacific shore near Depoe Bay.
The contrast between sheltered inland space and open beach gives the stop more variety than a single highway viewpoint.
Use current state-park information to choose a parking area and authorized beach approach. Conditions at the creek mouth and ocean edge vary with weather and tides. The photograph shows the creek-side landscape near the road crossing rather than a current assessment of beach access or surf safety.
