Samuel H. Boardman Northern Trail

The Samuel H. Boardman Northern Trail at Samuel H. Boardman State Park in Brookings, Oregon is an easy 0.6-mile out-and-back trail that features a beautiful woodland setting and views of the Pacific Ocean.

This trail is just one small section of the entire trail that runs the length of Samuel H. Boardman State Park and is located along the northern-most section of the main trail. This section is only 0.3-miles one-way but regardless of length, this is a great trail to use to stretch your legs along a Highway-101 trip or for a short day hike.

Vista points can be found along the trail, but none of them have sweeping views - most of the views can be found between the trees along the cliff's edge.
