VIRTUAL TOUR OF UPPER LANE COUNTY
Carl G. Washburne State Park - indentations in the cliff face, near Florence
There’s an easy trail to the beach, containing miles of sand and some surprises. From the main beach access, head south and for the next mile or so you'll find beautiful little cove-like places, the first of which is only a quarter mile down the beach. Some of these are only maybe 30 feet wide and 20 feet deep - which makes them perfect for letting the rays in but keeping the wind out.
One such cozy cove spot is pictured here.
Or for a much longer walk, you can head east from the park and hike a two-mile loop up the hilly forestland to China Creek and a few ponds – including a beaver-dammed lake.
