Olalla Lake

Olalla Lake is close to Toledo, Oregon and is easy to miss if you are coming over to the coast on Highway 20 from the Willamette Valley. Not being able to find it is just fine with the local folks though.

The lake covers some 100 acres and is stocked with trout, some steelhead, perch, crappie. There can be some good fishing at certain times of the year.

Of course, this is a photo blog and not a "where to fish" site however, it's a neat place to take a picnic lunch and there are some trails to get on.

I couldn't get the entire lake into photos so, you will have to use your imagination, or take my word, that the lake goes around the bend.

Things To Do In South Beach

South Beach is just across the Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport, Oregon. It is an exciting part of the Central Coast and consists of the Hatfield Marine Science Center, Oregon Coast Aquarium and the Roque Brewery for starters.

It also consists of the South Beach State Park which is gigantic and is a super place to walk or hike.

For my wife and I, the walk started and ended, more or less, under the south end of the Yaquina Bay Bridge which is another park.

There is a road that parallels the bay and I took photos as I went. If you continue on this road it takes you to the beach. But, we cutoff and took an inland trail that paralleled the beach, walked for about three quarters of a mile and came back on a different trail.

The walk is very scenic and there are lots of things to see.

Nye Beach

The Nye Beach District in Newport, Oregon is about one of the nicest beach communities going. It's small and it consists of tremendous people, restaurants and shops...and, a beach that won't wait!

Basically, it's the tourist center of Newport. However, the rain and poor weather keeps the population well below the million mark which, if that happened, would bring chaos to this great community...the ruination of a perfect beach and place. So keep up the poor weather.

The photos here are random and are not really showing "the meat" of the community.  I'm just walking around taking pictures.
