Beer connoisseurs - rejoice

ucked behind the well known Roadhouse 101 restaurant, The Rusty Truck Brewing Company is now offering Lincoln City’s first ever hand crafted brews, with its first batch of beer produced on Friday, April 22nd. The brewery operators are hoping to establish this new brewery as a well-respected regional brewery known for high quality hand crafted beers and ales. Brewery owner, Brian Whitehead, built a new 6000 square foot brewery building next to his popular bar and restaurant, Roadhouse 101. Whitehead explained, that “in designing the facility and the brewing equipment, we tried to come up with a balance between efficient modern function and a handson, traditional approach to brewing, focusing on quality and taste. It’s a 10 barrel brewery, meaning that we will make about 20 kegs of beer each time we brew.”

Ron Hulka, the Brewer at Rusty Truck Brewery, intends to brew beers in the traditional style including Pilsners, golden, blond and amber ales and stouts. Hulka explained, “This is going to be beer made by beer drinkers for beer drinkers. If it isn’t great beer, I’m not going to drink it and we won’t sell it. We have a wonderful facility here which has everything necessary to make award winning beer. It’s my job to make sure that happens.”

The Rusty Truck Brewing Company is serving its beer at Roadhouse 101. The brewery is currently capable of brewing 5200 kegs of beer a year but can be easily expanded to triple that capacity. The brewery intends to market its beers to bars and restaurants throughout Oregon, but will first focus on developing a local following on the Oregon Coast, starting with Roadhouse 101. Other future plans include a tasting room for Oregon wines as well as the beer, brewery tours and special events.

Oh, and the name? It comes from the old rusty truck, a 58 Chevy Flat Bed to be exact, that owner Brian Whitehead has had for years. It is currently parked in the front of the Roadhouse 101 parking lot.

The Jennifer Sears Glass Art Studio

N

o trip to Lincoln City would be complete without a visit to the Jennifer Sears Glass Art Studio, located in the south end of Lincoln City’s Taft District. The glass blowing studio, housed inside an old converted brick firehouse, is one of the hottest (pardon the pun) tourist attractions on the central Oregon coast.

You can sit and watch one of the four Artists in Residence working their craft in front of red hot glowing furnaces that can reach over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, as they create magical blown glass art pieces. Or for a reasonable fee, they will guide you through the complete process of creating your own personal blown glass float. Adults, groups and kids over eight are all invited to join in the process.

The art of glass blowing began around 50 BC and has undergone many innovative changes since that time. The modern art of glass blowing typically uses three furnaces.

The first, which is simply called “the furnace” is heated to over 2400 degrees and holds a crucible containing the molten glass. A blowpipe is inserted into the crucible and slowly twirled to coat the end with molten glass. The molten glass is then worked and blown to create shapes and colors. From time to time it is inserted into a second furnace called a “glory hole” to bring the glass back up to a workable temperature.

Once the piece is finished, it is placed into an “annealer” furnace to slowly cool the piece to prevent cracking or shattering. This can take from a few hours to a day or longer. This is why you are asked to come back the next day to pick up your finished glass float. If you wish, the Jennifer Sears Glass Art Studio can pack and ship your treasure to your home for you.

Across the street from the glass studio is the Volta Gallery, where the artwork of the four Artists in Residence and other regional glass artists can be purchased. Pieces range from simple paper weights and glass floats to festive fluted bowls and ornately whimsical glass fish. There is something for everyone’s taste and budget.

The Jennifer Sears Glass Art Studio, 4821 SW Highway 101 Lincoln City, Oregon, and the Volta Gallery are both open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm.

It is suggested that you call ahead for a glass blowing appointment: 541-996-2569. Or visit then on line at: www.jennifersearsglassart.com. All images Courtesy of Jennifer Sears Glass Art. 10

Beachcombers have more fun!

M

aybe it’s because they have a more adventurous spirit. Maybe it’s because they know how to have fun without electronic stimulation.

And maybe it’s because beachcombing is just plain fun.

With over seven and one half miles of pristine beaches to explore, and many easy access locations throughout the town, Lincoln City is definitely a beachcomber’s paradise. The great thing about beachcombing is that the tide comes in twice a day, with the promise of some unexpected treasure coasting in on the incoming tide.

There is still the occasional, but rare authentic barnacle covered Japanese float that finds its way to the shores of Lincoln City, but more often, it’s the plastic variety that show up these days. Saki bottles are not uncommon, and brightly colored crab floats are regularly washed ashore, especially after a storm.

Strange and marvelous fishes have been left high and dry after a high tide. Even tropical species have been found, with the regular occurrences of El Nino and La Nina weather patterns.

Clam shells and sand dollars are commonly found by even the youngest beachcombing adventurers. And don’t forget the incredible variety of contorted tree branches and roots that take on mythical shapes of sea monsters, dragons and dolphins.

With over seven miles to comb, the one thing you can be sure of finding at the end of your search is a ravenous appetite.

For more information on beachcombing access locations throughout Lincoln City, contact the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce at: www.lcchamber.com or phone: 541-994-3070

ictoria B. C. may have its Butchart Gardens, but Lincoln City has the Connie Hanson Garden, a much smaller, more intimate garden, but just as appealing to lovers of botanical beauty. Named for its garden enthusiast founder, Constance (Connie) P. Hansen, the garden was begun in 1973. Connie’s love of gardening and especially the many varieties of irises has continued since her passing in 1993 thanks to the tireless work of the Connie Hansen Conservancy, a non profit organization founded to maintain and expand the gardens.

Grassy paths meander though the gardens mature trees and myriad of local and exotic plant species, such as Japanese and Siberian irises and styrax japonica trees. Small ponds and a stream help set the serene ambiance of the garden’s lush vegetation. There is no charge for admittance; however, donations are greatly appreciated. The Connie Hansen Garden is open from dawn to dusk seven days a week and visitors are encouraged to make their own way through the gardens meandering paths.

Spring and summer are especially magical times at the garden, as native

– Lincoln City’s little slice of heaven

rhododendrons and Connie’s beloved irises are in full bloom. Countless other species of flowering plants and trees grace the garden’s surroundings.

A small wooden footbridge traverses the stream and pathways interlink to allow visitors freedom in exploring the garden’s delights from different perspectives.

The Garden House gift shop is located on the premises and is open Tuesdays and Saturdays from 10 am until 2 pm. Among the unique treasures in the gift shop are inexpensive seed packets from the garden’s many unusual species. These are seeds that are seldom found in standard seed catalogs.

Plants and starts from the garden are also available for purchase, as well as a multitude of gardening implements and attire.

Each summer, the Connie Hansen Garden holds an Orphan Plant Sale to find homes for some of their over propagated species. Prices start as low as $1.00.

The grounds are available for small weddings, parties and meetings. For more information on use of the Garden House see rental information at the Connie Hansen Garden web site: www.conniehansengarden.com. The Connie Hansen Garden is located at 1931 NW 33rd Street in Lincoln City.

Lincoln City – antique capital

of the Oregon coast

V

Most people don’t think of antique hunters as adrenaline junkies, but, there is something about stepping through the doors of an antique shop that sends a quiver of anticipation down some people’s spine - that thrilling sense of wonderment and anticipation. Maybe they are looking for a specific piece to add to a cherished collection. Or they have been searching to replace that one broken plate from great grandma’s good china set. Or maybe they don’t have a clue what they want, but will instantly know when they see it.

Larry Coonrod News Times

No matter what your reason, you will be glad you found Lincoln City.

For the past decade, Lincoln City has held a reputation as the place on the Oregon coast for serious antique enthusiasts. With 30 plus stores and well over 80 dealers, Lincoln City truly deserves its reputation as the antique capital of the Oregon coast.

Each February, Lincoln City hosts a city wide event called Antique Week.

Actually, it’s a ten day event that brings in a host of eager antique bargain hunters. Typically, during this event, antique stores offer discounts in the 25% range. An appraise – a –thon fair is also held to help you evaluate your most prized antique possessions.

ove to swim? The Lincoln City Community Center is where to be!

How about a ride down a 14-foot water slide, or a plunge from a rope swing?

Prefer shallow waters? Then take in the small pool with its12-foot pelican water feature and adjustable fountains.

“Our brand new water slide is 56 feet long and makes a 360-degree turn before dropping swimmers four feet into the deep end of the big pool. This pool also has 1-meter and 3-meter diving boards and water basketball..

The Community Center’s small pool is just three-and-a-half feet deep and is perfect for babies, toddlers and their parents.

If you prefer to stay dry, the Community Center features a full-size gymnasium that is open daily for pick-up games or shooting hoops.

Admission to the gym is included with the youth pool fee – just $2.75.

Basketball hoops are also located outside, behind the center; just come in to the lobby and ask for a ball!

The wilder side of Lincoln City cuisine

You may have heard of the Galloping Gourmet, and possibly even the Frugal Gourmet, but have you ever heard of the Wild Gourmet? If not, and you have a somewhat developed sense of adventure, then you will want to. Also known as Chef Lee Gray, the Wild Gourmet has a past as unusual as his moniker. But we will get into that later.

Gray has been somewhat of a Lincoln City folk legend for quite some time. What he loves doing is taking people out to the tide flats and rocky outcroppings at low tide and teaching them how to forage for their supper. He plucks such succulents as Turkish towel or sea lettuce, rinses them off in salt water and plops them into his mouth.

Gooseneck barnacles and California mussels are also favorites of Chef Lee, along with a variety of bay clams.

He offers working, hands on classes every month on Tide Pool Edibles and Bay Clamming. All classes are $30.00 for adults and $15.00 for kids under 12. An Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife shellfish license is required for the Bay Clamming class.

Classes are held once a month. For more information, call the Wild Gourmet at: 541-992-3798.

Oh, and about Lee’s unusual past, “In 1982 I moved into a sea cave on the central Oregon coast. I wanted to sharpen my survival skills, and discover the wild edibles of the Northwest.” He stayed there for an entire year and he will be happy share his experience..

each rides have been a part of the history of the Oregon coast since before the time of the automobile. And now, Lincoln City can add its name to the list of beachfront communities that offers horse beach rides, thanks to the new owners of Green Acres Boarding and Beach rides The air is still, the only sound is that of the relentless surf rushing to meet the edge of the sandy beach. Pelicans glide along the wave crests as an inquisitive seal bobs in the waves, staring at the curious sight on the beach. The horses are obviously content in their stroll along the sandy shore. The riders have that unique sense of being one with their mounts. Another beach ride is uniting rider and horse with the natural elements of the seaside.

The stables, located just off East Devils Lake Road board horses year round, and offer both beach as trail rides for horse enthusiasts of all ages.

Prices vary and all rides are subject to the elements.

26

Mountain on horseback

A typical beach ride begins at Bob Straub State Park in Pacific City, as the beach there is less crowded and has fewer distractions for the horses.

Each rider is paired with a horse of compatible personality. There is no set duration so that each ride matches the endurance and comfort level of the riders. The beach rides meander through a grove of coastal pines before breaking out onto the expansive beach. Spotting wildlife is a common occurrence on these rides, from birds and seals to whales.

Mountain Trail Rides start from their stable. You will mount up and head out along the edge of a large pasture to the entrance of several different trails, depending on which one is best suited for your group. Many of the trails are maintained by the local elk herds, some are maintained by Green Acres and others by the local power companies. There are so many different trails up the mountain you probably won’t see the same one for years.

For more information on both beach and mountain trail rides, contact Green Acres Equestrian Center at 541-603-1768. Or visit them on line at www.greenacresboarding.com.

Lincoln City History H Courtesy of the North Lincoln County Historical Museum

omesteaders began arriving in what is now the Lincoln City area soon after Congress passed the Dawes Act in 1887. This act opened up Coast Reservation lands to white settlement and gave 80acre "allotments" to reservation Indians.

Native Americans, as well as white settlers, first inhabited land along the Siletz River, Siletz Bay and the Salmon River. Early settlers homesteaded the land and combined subsistence farming with fishing and hunting in order to survive on the isolated coast.

Sissie and Jakie Johnson Jr. were the first residents of Taft. They had been given a 160-acre allotment on Siletz Bay as compensation when reservation lands were taken away. With its location on Siletz Bay providing access to the coast and ocean, and the Siletz River providing transportation to people living along the river, Taft became the center of north Lincoln County's social and economic life. Homesteaders came into town for festivities on most holidays, but the Fourth of July drew the biggest crowds.

John W. Bones erected the first store in Taft, establishing a post office in the store on Jan. 22, 1906 with Mr. Bones as the first postmaster. When naming the town, Mr. Bones requested first the name of Siletz Bay, but this was rejected since there was already a town of Siletz in the area. He named the town for William Howard Taft, who was then Secretary of War and later became president.

In the mid-1920s and early 30s, Herbert Rexroad, one of the earliest

businessmen to settle in Oceanlake, operated a campground in the grove of trees believed to have been the exact spot where Jason Lee and his party camped. The large tract owned by Rexroad and his partner, Edgar L. Hoyt, was registered as "Devils Lake Park" and constituted the main business section of the town.

Another large tract of land, owned by the Catholic Church, was called Raymond, named for Father Raymond, the church's pastor. The town had no official name until 1926, when a post office was established with A. C. Deuel as the first postmaster. Some have given Mr. Duel credit for naming the town, but it is also thought Mrs. H.E. Warren, a member of the booster club, is the author of the name, having described the area as lying between the ocean and the lake.

Oceanlake annexed Wecoma Beach, another small town to the north, and was incorporated as a full city on Nov. 3, 1945. Boyd C. Jenkins, a dentist, was the first mayor. The earliest homesteaders included Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hostetler, who bought Indian allotment land as early as 1910, and the Thorpe brothers, Alvin and Harry. Harry purchased land to the south of the Hostetlers and named the platted tracts "Camp Roosevelt" and "Roosevelt by the Sea" after the newly completed Highway.

The origin of the name Delake has several versions. In one, early Finnish homesteaders would say of the area, "I'm going to de lake," and the name stuck to the area. In another, the d and e constitute a French word meaning "by," hence the area "by the lake."

The first store and post office in Delake was established in 1924. A.C. Duel was the storekeeper and became the town's first postmaster. The 27

"D" River, which runs through the center of Delake, has been known by various names in the past including "the outlet." A contest determined its permanent name, giving the shortest river in the world the shortest name.

Possibly because of Nelscott's dense forest of spruce and hemlock, no settlers are known to have inhabited the future town site until shortly before 1910, when August Wallace homesteaded on the land. In the early 1900s, Charles P. Nelson glimpsed a lovely valley gently sloping to the sea as he walked the beach from Taft to Cloverdale, noting the wooded hills on three sides and crystal stream flowing to the sea. Years later, when Mr. Nelson and Dr. W. G. Scott were looking for land to develop, they revisited the area, found it for sale, and purchased it. Combining their last names at the suggestion of Mrs. Nelson, they formed the Nelscott Land Company and the town of Nelscott was born. When Nelscott's second store opened in 1927, it contained offices for the Land Company, a restaurant, a bus depot, hotel rooms and living quarters. In 1929, it also contained Nelscott's first post office.

Cutler City was the third town site in north Lincoln County. Originally part of the allotment of Charlie Depoe, a Siletz Indian, the land was sold to Mary and George E. Cutler of Dallas, who established a town site on June 4, 1913. The North Lincoln Rhododendron Society was 28

Courtesy of the North Lincoln County Historical Museum

organized in 1938 for the purpose of preserving native plants and celebrating the blooming season. Cutler City, abloom with so many colorful rhododendrons from May through June, was chosen as its rhododendron capital.

In the 1930s, these towns competed with other coastal towns to attract tourists and increase business. Annual events like Taft's Redhead Roundup and Oceanlake's Regatta drew visitors from all over the state and further emphasized the distinctive characteristics of each town.

Because government services to these communities, such as fire and police protection, were needed by all, a long debate ensued as to whether the towns, some of which had incorporated as cities, should combine. However, since all of the towns in the area developed somewhat independently of one another, and had separate post offices, many people were reluctant for the towns to join together as one, and a protracted discussion ensued.

On March 3, 1965 - after several failed attempts - Cutler City, Taft, Nelscott, Delake, and Oceanlake incorporated as Lincoln City. When it was determined that using one of the five cities' names would be too controversial, a contest was held to find a new name. Lincoln City, a name submitted by school children, was the one chosen from among the entries. www.northlincolncountyhistoricalmuseum.org

The Nature Conservancy Trail on Cascade Head rises through a forest of Sitka spruce and western hemlock before revealing spectacular views of Salmon River and the Pacific Ocean far below. (Photo by Jason Evans)

Hiking Near Lincoln City H arts Cove is a cozy enclave wrapped by sheer rocky cliffs. A forest of Sitka spruce and western hemlock rises from the south and east edge over which plunges the Chitwood Creek waterfall; to the north the forest is suspended above a steep grassy bald, home to myriad wildflowers.

Seabirds cruise above the dappled inlet below and fish or forage between the refuge of rocky

enclaves.

Where the cove opens to the ocean look south from a grove of haggard trees to see eroded headlands: arched and retired rocky remnants of onetime shores; evidence Cascade Head was an active volcano.

Busy pollen-dusty bees abound. Among their favorite oases thistle flower is delicately bristled with starburst purple petals atop a sturdy stem from which jut gnarly leaves on which lady bugs bask.

Indian paintbrush, broad-leaved lupine and tough-leaved iris are striking meadow flowers. Also, Henderson’s checkermallow occurs (currently listed as a species of concern by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department; threatened in part by coastal development). Cow parsnip towers toward ten feet tall with wide white caps of umbellate flowers. This is a wild carrot native to the Pacific Northwest and was a staple food of native Indians who cooked the roots and ate the shoots and leaves both cooked and raw.

Horsetails are the progeny of massive ancient plants; radially manifest and needle-like they protrude segmented between red-plumed grasses.

Exposed bracken fern, usually succulent, becomes dry and leathery. So does salal, which comprises meadow thickets.

Heal-all is accentuated by many blue or purple flowers bunched tightly with little mouths and ragged hanging tongues about the head atop the stem. The little flowers drop away incongruously, revealing bracts. Though once utilized in medicinal ointments by native Indians, the plant is no longer considered effective.

Yarrow is an intriguing find and early in the season may be mistaken for some fantastic delicate fern as leaves evidence before stem or flower.

When the flower burgeons, finally, from the top of the established stem, it is a tight ball, and then unfolds into a wide cap-like corymb of little white flowers. Yarrow occurs along the Coast Range in select balds and sometimes beneath the forest understory.

The insightful botanist Leslie Loren Haskin was a native of Wisconsin but adopted Oregon as his home, continuing the family trend west, and eventually settled in Newport. He was an avid photographer (as was his wife Lilian) and diligently recorded cultural accounts and the lore of the plants he loved. He died in Newport in 1949.

Haskin wrote in “Wildflowers of the Pacific Coast” that yarrow is a native of Europe and also of the Pacific coast: 33

Visitors from British Columbia take in the views atop Cascade Head. (Photo by Jason Evans)

“This plant has a history that reaches back into the remotest ages. Its very name, Achillea, was given it because at the siege of Troy, Achilles, the Greek hero, used it in curing the wounds of his soldiers. From that time forth, it holds a prominent place in folk-tale and legend. Simply to mention all the uses, some foolish, some practical, to which it has been put, would cover several pages. A spray of yarrow, picked from a grave at midnight was a potent love charm; it was used for bridal wreaths; the green leaves were used for toothache; plants worn by a timid person would drive away fear; it was used to stop nose-bleed; and so on, indefinitely. In Sweden it has been used instead of hops for making beer. Among the Indians it was used for medicine, besides which, among the Klamaths, a bunch of yarrow was placed inside each drying salmon to promote quick curing.�

Harts Cove Trail

From the trailhead the path drops, steeply cut and sharply switching at first, easing eventually onto the level. Hike down into a second-growth forest of Sitka spruce, which has in areas given way to western hemlock. Scattered amid the duff, little yellow flowers like creeping redwood violet and lush green vegetation, are interrupted early by a patch of brown barren beneath the surviving canopy. Wind rushes overhead in consequent waves.

Moss covered red alder grows in several sunny riparian ravines whereupon the path is encroached by salmonberry.

Cross a little wood footbridge over the slight, rushing Cliff Creek. Umbrella plant grows in nearby swales and takes its name from the broad leaves that suffice to protect from a gentle rain, though would be of little use overcome by a coastal breeze. The leaves are sufficient shade.

Lady fern, western sword fern and deer fern are prevalent. Dimorphic deer fern produces two different kinds of fronds - fertile and sterile. Unlike another dimorphic fern such as lady fern or sword fern, whose fertile and sterile fronds appear superficially similar (examine the underside to differentiate by spore bearing sori), the fertile and sterile fronds of deer fern are distinct. Seasonally, find the skeletal fertile fronds jutting erect from the whorl of ever-present sterile fronds.

Among the carabids or ground beetles discover Scaphinotus angusticollis; a snail-eater brandishing a handsome finely grooved elytra skirted by a ribbed ridge. Like their fellow, the warty snail-eater, these beetles track snails via their slime trails and are shaped to slip easily after the animals, into their shell. However the beetles are not obligate snail eaters and will capitalize perchance to feast upon a host of other morsels like slugs and worms.

Biologists with the Arthropod Collection at Oregon State University have found banana (the fruit) a successful late night lure.

Little brown spit bugs desecrate the branches of many overhanging shrubs. Juveniles encase themselves in the signature slimy goo. Adult spit bugs are sometimes called frog hoppers because of their shape and hopping prowess.

Banana slugs mate year round, look for young which hatch already on their own. Many offspring ensure that despite the misfortune of many the species will survive.

Several extended sections of path become overgrown with Rubus brambles and woody 34

shrubs during the spring, and the path is sometimes strewn with fallen trees.

Salmonberry is the preponderant culprit crowding the path. The taste of the berries, composed of orangecolored drupelets, is faintly reminiscent of orange rind and mildly bittersweet.

Thimbleberries are composed of many tightly packed dull red drupelets rendering them broad and lumpy in appearance. The thimbleberry leaf is palmate with five lobes.

Some blackberry also occurs. Gangly wild grape stretches climbing and clinging with curly-queues among the various Rubus and other supportive shrubs.

Red elderberry may, when given space, attain tree-like stature but often grows in the understory like a shrub; young specimens might not produce the signature bunches of bright red berries. These clutches of tiny red berries are for humans inedible raw, though birds and other forest creatures are fond of them. Elderberries may be made into tasty jam or wine; however, a cautionary note: the seed-bearing nutlets within are poisonous. The plant is easy to identify with seven leaflets - each finely and jaggedly toothed.

Red huckleberry is a delicate and even dainty bush with light green leaves. Though historically regarded with suspicion, red huckleberries are palatable when they develop later in the season.

Baneberry boasts glossy deep-red toxic berries that appear candied or waxed.

Among the forest flowers hedge nettle has pretty deep throated flowers with spreading lips. The little flowers are

History

Cascade Head Experimental Forest was established in 1934 and covers 4814 ha (11,890 ac) of coastal headland prairies and forests on and to the east of Cascade Head. In 1974 the western half of the experimental forest was combined with the Cascade Head Scenic Research Area, which extends south of the headland to include the Salmon River estuary. The area was designated a Biosphere Reserve as part of the United Nations Man and the Biosphere Reserve system in 1980. The experimental forest is managed by the Pacific Northwest Research Station, but research on the forest has been conducted and funded by a variety of state and federal government agencies and universities.

Early studies at Cascade Head were descriptive in nature and examined the life history characteristics of native trees, the basic relationships between vegetation and climate, and the growth and yield of stands of Sitka spruce and western hemlock.

Studies from the late 1940s through the 1960s were mostly manipulative, consisting primarily of trials of different commercial harvest techniques, including staggeredsetting clearcuts, progressive strip clearcuts, shelterwood, and several types of thinning.

Regeneration, wind damage, logging costs, and logging damage were examined on most sites. Current activities at Cascade Head include studies of forest ecosystem dynamics, autecology of individual wildlife and plant species, decomposition of coarse woody debris, soil microbial studies and nutrient cycling. A comprehensive bibliography of published research conducted at Cascade Head between 1934-1990 has been compiled (Greene and Blinn 1991).

Research Natural Areas are dedicated to preserve examples of significant ecosystems in a pristine state for comparison with those influenced by humans; provide areas for educational activities and ecological research; and preserve gene pools of native species.

Neskowin Crest Research Natural Area is located within the Cascade Head Experimental Forest and is home to the remnants of 250-year-old Sitka spruce that survived earlier fires. Knowledge of the natural succession process indicates these spruce trees will be replaced by western hemlock. Neskowin Crest Research Natural Area is a 482 ha (1,190 ac) area established in 1941 as an example of Sitka sprucewestern hemlock forest on the oceanfront.

Getting there

From the junction of U.S. Highway 101 and E. Devils Lake Road on the northern edge of Lincoln City, drive north on Hwy. 101 for five miles toward the top of Cascade Head. Turn left from the highway onto Forest Service Road 1861 and drive four miles, roughly west over Cascade Head, staying left where the road splits, to find the Harts Cove trailhead where the road dead-ends. During the off-season FSR 1861 is closed near Hwy. 101. Experienced hikers may consider the 13-mile hike roundtrip from the highway.

arranged radially about the stem, dispersed farther below and closer toward the apex.

Hedge nettle is reputed to be an effective healing agent for cuts and bruises. Though of the mint family this plant does not effuse the aromatic associated with other mints and is considered by some to be rank and offensive.

Monkey flower are yellow and speckled red with little hairs along the back bottom of the petal trumpet. Sorrel and false lily-of-the-valley join mosses and lichen to cover much of the exposed forest floor.

Smell salt air intermixed with an inconstant breeze before reaching a bench located one mile from the meadow and overlooking Harts Cove from the southeast. Hike back from the cove, weaving in and out of little ravines, to find the meadow.

Mature Sitka spruce and some western hemlock are found along the lower half of Harts Cove Trail. A great horned owl looks back to the path from a tall perch, momentarily distracted from the pestering of a pair of Steller’s jays.

Discarded snail shells are found along the path, each compromised by an ominously pecked hole.

Douglas’ Squirrel, also known by the onomatopoeic chikaree, are often encountered in area forests and are easily identified by ringed eyes. They are good indicators of other wildlife though just as likely to berate and so call-out unwitting hikers.

The Chitwood Creek bridge has been destroyed by flooding, and a sign posted by the Hebo Ranger district advises individuals to cross at their own risk. Several lodged logs are fairly sturdy steps.

T

he Drift Creek Falls Trail is located in the Siuslaw National Forest and is managed by the Hebo Ranger District. Drift Creek Falls Trail is not to be confused with the Drift Creek Wilderness, which is further south. It is a good family-friendly day hike easily accessible from both Newport and Lincoln City. Driving the winding and dangerous U.S. Forest Service Road 17, climbing deftly around mountainous ravines, instills the illusion of exaggerated elevation though the trailhead is a mere 911 feet above sea level. Don’t be too discouraged by the vestiges of rapacious clear-cut forestry because the safe-haven of protected forests is worth the drive.

The hike to Drift Creek Falls is an easy meander through a beautiful young second-growth forest of Douglas-fir, Western Hemlock, Sitka Spruce and Red Alder. Western Hemlock thrives beneath the protective canopy of larger Douglas-firs. Sitka Spruce and Western Hemlock are more often found in separate forests, but in portions of the Siuslaw National Forest and along the Falls Trail they uniquely coexist. Moss and lichen carpet swatches of forest floor, covering nurse logs and exposed roots; they cling to and drape the trunks and limbs of healthy trees.

The lush undergrowth is a tangled montage of thorny vines and woody shrubs, deer ferns, sword ferns and salal.

The fauna indigenous to the Siuslaw National Forest include 235 species of birds, more than 200 fishes, 69 mammals and 26 species of amphibians and reptiles. Common sightings on the Drift Creek Falls Trail include the ubiquitous yellow Oregon slug, woodpeckers, black beetles, salamanders, frogs and garter snakes; less often quail, hawks, rabbit, deer and Roosevelt Elk may be observed.

Drift Creek Falls Trail is gorgeous year round. The dripping wet forest of winter is far from austere and bare bush or limbs offer a glimpse of deeper undergrowth. In the spring the birds are an audible wonder, a cacophony, if unseen; the foliage is both evergreen and punctuated with the lighter brighter green of leaflets unveiling. Also, the creek that spills over the falls is full this time of year, and therefore the falls dramatic. The summer is cool beneath the dense canopy overhanging and - even on the Drift Creek Falls Trail - one might work up enough heat and the gumption to jump into the cold clear water of Drift Creek. Autumn is a colorful season to visit the falls, as much for the smattering of flush deciduous trees as for the plethora of fungi - a delight in their myriad forms.

The main Falls trail is wide, averaging three feet across, and well groomed; it was once designated handicap accessible (but be forewarned that it has washed out in one spot and if not just dangerous, would be a chore to traverse in its entirety, except by the strongest of wheelers). Note also that there are several stairs to the forest floor on the opposite end of the bridge.

The trail drops gently more than 340 feet from the trailhead to the suspension bridge over the falls. Here and there a felled giant is a reminder of the former grandeur of mature coastal forests. Most of the larger trees lining the trail are nearing 50 years old. Three notable stands of mature trees can be observed on the Drift Creek Falls Trail. The first and second are just before and after the suspension bridge. The other is located on the northeastern corner of the North Loop.

The loop trail is not evenly graded like the main trail and is fairly rugged. It is a short addition, but pretty and less traveled. Intermittent smaller wooden bridges cleverly complete the main trail and north loop; rivulets tumble gently beneath except when swollen with rain or the run-off from a few perennial snow showers.

As the path winds less than a mile and a half down through rugged ravines, it eventually abuts an unnamed stream, which becomes the falls that tumbles 75 feet into a pool of Drift Creek.

The Drift Creek Bridge

An awesome suspension bridge spans 240 feet over Drift Creek Canyon, 100 feet above Drift Creek. Three feet wide and sturdy, though flexible to sway, some find the journey across the bridge unnerving. However most delight at the opportunity to step out over the forest canopy and gain a perfect view of the falls. The bridge is breathtaking and accentuates the environment tastefully, exhibiting thought for form and function.

Drift Creek Bridge is dedicated to the late Scott Paul, a trail-builder with the U.S. Forest Service at Mt. Baker in the Snoqualmie National Forest, Wash.

Scott’s friend Caroll Vogel described him as one who “was sustained by wild places and a love for the paths that made them accessible. He was a poet, a student of history, and a teacher of traditional work skills.” Paul was the Forest Service Construction Foreman at Drift Creek Bridge and lost his life on the project in a tragic rigging accident, the trail was completed in his honor by his friends.

Drift Creek Bridge was completed in 1997 and dedicated in 1998. It is 36

unusual for light pedestrian suspension bridges in that it incorporates a quasistiffening truss in the deck. The bridge is anchored in rock via 10-foot rock bolts on one side of the gorge and 28 cy concrete deadmen are used on the other. Materials, including concrete, were mobilized to the sight via helicopter.

The towers are 29 feet tall and penta-treated Douglas-fir glu-lams. The mainlines are one-and-a-quarter-inch galvanized 6 by 19 wire rope. The present trail is contemporaneous with the bridge though game trails preceded them.

The north loop is a more recent addition.

Beyond the bridge a path cuts across the canyon side and back to the base of the falls. Beware that this is the steepest part of the trail and in wet weather it can be slick. From the edge of Drift Creek the falls can be seen clearly careening over the broad rock face and eventually free falling to the pool below.

There is a rustic picnic table at the base of the falls and another that side of the bridge. There is also a bench barely a quarter mile from the trailhead. Plans for further trail development around the falls have been entertained though there is no such work in progress.

Drift Creek Falls trail is open year round from dawn until dusk. Dogs are welcome though they must be leashed. The one-and-a-half-mile hike to the edge of Drift Creek, well below the bridge and falls, will take most people less than an hour, though more time should be planned for the hike up and out or if using the north loop. A vault toilet is located at the trailhead.

Drift Creek Falls trailhead is a U.S. Forest Service fee site. A day pass may be purchased at the trailhead for $5 per vehicle. Be sure to have exact change or plan to pay by check. Also, the following passes are honored: the Northwest Forest Pass, Oregon Pacific Coast Passport, Golden Passports, and the Washington and Oregon Recreation Pass.

The trailhead is located on U.S. Forest Service Road 17, east of Lincoln City and is accessible either from the south or northeast. To access Forest Service Road 17 from the south, turn east onto Drift Creek Rd. from U.S. Highway 101 and after a mile and a half, veer south onto South Drift Creek Road. Shortly thereafter turn east onto Forest Service Road17, following signs for the trailhead. Expect the 10-mile drive to the trailhead to take about 25 minutes. There are two occasions that the road comes to an apparent T-junction; while the second is marked (take a left), the first is not (the signpost remains), follow to the left for the trailhead.

From U.S. Highway 18 turn south onto Bear Creek Road (which becomes Forest Service Rd. 17). Follow the signs for 9 miles to the trailhead.

Though Forest Service Road 17 connects (by way of Drift Creek, Drift Creek S. and Bear Creek roads) Highway 101 to Highway 18, and therefore bypasses Lincoln City, it should not be considered a shortcut because the condition and structure of the road is such that safe travel is time consuming.

Much of the road is windy and single-lane with turnouts, several sections of road between Highway 18 and the trailhead are unpaved. Following a storm, heavy debris is sometimes strewn across the roadway; and rocks may fall onto certain sections of the road at any time.

Drift Creek Falls Trail is located in the Siuslaw National Forest and is managed by the Hebo Ranger District; District Ranger George Buckingham can be reached at 503-392-3161. Office hours are from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
