The Pistol River Middle Access Trail at Pistol River State Park in Gold Beach, Oregon is an easy 0.2-mile out-and-back trail that leads to a beautiful coastline.
This short trail leads visitors out to the middle section of Pistol River State Park's rugged coastline. To the north, hikers can find massive rocks standing dozens of feet in the air, which tower over the beach. This unique coastline is what attracts visitors to Pistol River State Park and the views are well worth a short stop.
Seastacks: One of the attractions on this trail are the seastacks,
which are tall rock formations, left standing by wave erosion.
Pets: Dogs are allowed if leashed and their waste must be carried out by the hiker.
