The Siuslaw National Forest is located in the coast mountain range of Oregon and is one of the two forests in the continental United States bordering the Pacific Ocean. The Siuslaw National Forest encompasses one of the most productive and diverse landscapes in the world - from fertile soils, which support tall stands of Douglas-fir, western hemlock and Sitka spruce forests laced with miles of rivers and streams. Thick Douglas fir forests contrast sharply with miles of open sand dunes, beaches, and freshwater lakes. These rich settings form habitats for a broad array of plants and animals and provide endless opportunities for learning. The Cape Perpetua Scenic Area and the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area are the main scenic attractions on the Coast; while the inland area of the Forest includes three wilderness areas. The Forest also has hundreds of recreational opportunities. This is truly a national treasure and it belongs to you!

• Visit the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, extending along the Oregon coast from Florence to Coos Bay, it offers some of the states finest beach areas and includes numerous campgrounds, hiking trails, boat launch sites, and picnicking areas.
• Spend a day at the Sutton Recreation Complex with unique trails for horses, hikers and bicycles from the coast to the forest. There is even excellent fishing in trout stocked lakes and an amphitheater featuring weekend talks.
