Ocean To Bay Trail Newport Oregon

A little known hike/walk in Newport, Oregon is the "Ocean to Bay Trail". The trail starts at the "Agate Beach Wayside" (the ocean part, north end of Newport) and was originally scheduled to end up at the south end of Newport at Yaquina Bay.

However, the entire trail, as of now, to the Bay hasn't developed yet. There is only about three quarters of a mile of trail and it ends.

What is developed, though is nothing but beautiful and serene...a cool rainforest, wetland combo.

Many bridges/boardwalks take you over the wetlands...there is an abundance of skunk cabbage, wild buttercups, horse tail, Queen Anne and wild foxgloves to take in. 

To make a real hike out of it, at the end of the trail, you can take off to the left and walk up to the upper Big Creek reservoir...mostly uphill. Or, take a right and walk on Big Creek Road to the swimming pool and, even to the Bay if you don't mind walking through neighborhoods.

Mike Miller Park

The Mike Miller Trail in South Beach (Newport), Oregon is rather short...one mile long and is a loop. They tell you it will take 45 minutes.

For those who do three minute miles, fifteen minute miles, twenty minute miles, why the 45 minute thing?  Let's talk uphill! And, when you think you have done all of the uphill thing...there is more uphill!

What is interesting is that much of the uphill trail is like stairs, with the roots of trees acting like risers. They can also be a hazard if you are not careful and are doing the three minute mile thing.

There two other short trails that will add a little more distance...the "Emery and the Wilder". You will see the signs as you are on the main trail.

To get there, head south about a mile and a half from the Yaquina Bay Bridge. Take a left on SE 50th...it's just a short jaunt down the road. It's a cool hike!

Most of my photography can be purchased through “Fotomoto” (a trusted site) in many different formats and price ranges. Just click one of the links below each photo to see all the options!
