North Oregon Coast Town Explodes with Fun in Fall

Goonies Rock - near Cannon Beach - was featured in the movie that was largely filmed in Astoria.

(Astoria, Oregon) – At the very northwestern tip of Oregon, Astoria is a boomtown of frivolity during the season, and beyond. The town that is set to turn 200 years old gets heated up in autumn and winter with nature hikes for mushroom hunters, holiday celebrations, and a celebration of the movie “Goonies,” among dozens of other possibilities.

Celebrate Fall Mushrooms at Fort Stevens State Park. You can dig into the great outdoors this fall on a guided mushroom hike at Fort Stevens State Park. Foragers meet park ranger guides at DeLaura Beach and trek about one mile hunting for local mushrooms. Tours are offered Fridays at 1 p.m. through the end of November (except Nov. 6). In addition, Fort Stevens State Park offers educational programs on Saturdays in November about Oregon's "Mysterious Mushrooms," which cover regulations, uses and identification of wild mushrooms across the state. There is no charge for the programs, except parking, which is $3 for the day.

For more information or to reserve a spot, contact park ranger Dane Osis at (503) 861-3170 ext. 41 or visit http://www.oregonstateparks.org/park_179.php. 

 

Holiday Cheer in Astoria and Warrenton. Looking for a spot to hunker down this holiday season?  Astoria and Warrenton are chock full of holiday-inspired festivities and unique coastal shopping.
