| Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park is the second largest overnight camp in the state. There are two miles of sand dunes between the park and the ocean. Two natural freshwater lakes are within the park. Cleawox -- which is great for swimming -- and Woahink, which has a public boat ramp, is used for all water sports. Rent a canoe and explore the lake. During Discovery Season (October 1 to April 30 every year), visitors can access the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area directly from your campsite in H loop of the campground. Reservations are recommended for winter holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. Spring brings out the pink rhododendrons. Come summertime, this is a great place for family reunions. The fall huckleberries and blackberries are ripe for the picking. During the winter, off-road vehicle users can access the sand dunes from H Loop. This is a camp for all seasons. The ocean is only a short distance away. It is recommended that visitors come during the summer months to watch the seals play on the shore. Gray whales are famous for migrating along Oregon's coastline, and this state park is no different. Grey whales and their calves are a unique sight to see. Bird watching has become very popular because of the pink rhododendrons that inhabit the area. Trails are spread throughout the area for hiking, biking, or ATV's. |
