Lake of the Woods Lookout
Perched at 3,419 feet, Lake of the Woods Lookout is a historic Forest Service aerie with 360° views to the Pacific Ocean, the Kalmiopsis and Wild Rogue wildernesses, and the Illinois and Rogue river canyons. The one-room cabin (sleeps 1–4) includes a propane stove and lights, double bed, table and two chairs, and basic furnishings; outside are a picnic table, fire ring (seasonal restrictions), and an outhouse. Bring bedding, cooking gear, and all your water—none is available on site. First built as a ground house on Barklow Mountain, the R-6 flat-roof cabin was helicoptered here and set on an 8-foot tower with catwalk in 1974, and was staffed each fire season through 1996 (about 21 miles NE of Gold Beach).
Snow Camp Lookout
Snow Camp Lookout rose from the ashes of the 2002 Biscuit Fire, rebuilt by volunteers led by Don Hartley of Crescent City and reopened for public rental on June 26, 2004. The rustic cabin echoes its predecessor with a double bed, table and chairs, cabinets, a wood-burning cook stove, outdoor picnic table, and a nearby port-a-potty. Fire detection on this peak dates to about 1910; a “Hall Special” cabin arrived in 1924, replaced in 1958 by an R-6 Flat lookout. During WWII, Snow Camp served year-round as an Aircraft Warning System station—part of the coast’s defense and the region’s postwar timber era.
Alfred A. Loeb State Park
Alfred A. Loeb State Park, known simply as "Loeb" by the locals, is nestled in a dense grove of ancient Myrtlewood trees along the Chetco River, eight miles inland from Oregon's southern coastline. This quiet park is located away from town and industry — a chorus of owls will lull you to sleep.
The northern-most redwood grove in the U.S. can be found at the end of the Riverview Nature Trail by crossing the North Bank Road and hiking the 1-mile U.S. Forest Service Redwood Loop.
