The Pistol River North Access Trail at Pistol River State Park in Gold Beach, Oregon is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back trail that leads hikers out to the northern section of the park along a beautiful coastline.
This is one of a few access trails that lead out to the beach at Pistol River State Park where hikers and visitors will find beautiful views of South Oregon's rugged coastline. Upon entering the beach, just beyond the trailhead, visitors will find two massive rock formations standing high over the beach, which is one of the main attractions on this hike.
Seastacks: One of the attractions on this trail are the seastacks,
which are tall rock formations, left standing by wave erosion. They can be found on the beach and in the ocean.
Pets: Dogs are allowed if leashed and their waste must be carried out by the hiker.
