f^;;'^" Vacation Land — The National Forests in Oregon 



Creek, 3 miles above Waldport. Alsea Bay is reached by automobile or wagon via 

 Alsea. 



Oceanview is a popular and growing resort. Here a first-class free camp and 

 pasture grounds are found, food supplies may be purchased, and pack horses and 

 guides hired to reach hunting grounds within the Forest, especially Klickitat 

 Mountain and the surrounding coimtry. Oceanview is reached by way of 

 Waldport, which is a half day's stage trip south from Newport, the terminus of 

 the Southern Pacific line to Yaquina Bay. 



Three miles south of Oceanview is Cape Perpetua, with its striking scenery 

 and good camping places upon the Forest. Mussels and clams are found in 

 abundance, and there is good deep-sea fishing. Cape Creek affords a limited 

 amount of fresh -water fishing. 



At Cape Perpetua, overlooking the roughest and most picturesque part of the 

 Oregon coast, the Forest Service has set aside a summer home site tract, on which 

 lots may be leased at the rate of $10 per annum. As a combination of beach and 

 forest recreation the location is ideal. 



Samaria, at the mouth of Big Creek, and Heceta are two well-known camping 

 places within the Forest. These places are privately owned, but the adjacent 

 Forest land offers good fishing along Big Creek and good hunting on the high ridges 

 in close proximity. The Grassy Mountain State Game Reserve is about 3 miles 

 to the east of the coast line near Heceta. No game birds or animals may be 

 hunted, but predatory animals may be killed and fish may be taken. People from 

 the south can come out by hired team from Florence. From the north Samaria 

 and Heceta can be reached by wagon and, probably, in the near future by auto- 

 mobile. 



Siuslaw Bay is reached by rail via Eugene. Its principal towns are Florence, 

 Mapleton, and Glenada. To reach the Forest it is necessary to pass through these 

 places. It is possible to travel by automobile or wagon from Eugene to Mapleton; 

 thence it is necessary to go by scow to Florence and Glenada. A wagon only, and 

 lightly loaded, could go from Florence, over 3 or 4 miles of loose sand roads, to the 

 beach and thence to northern points. Light-draft boats can now reach Florence; 

 the jetty at the mouth of the Siuslaw River is expected to insure a depth of from 

 24 to 28 feet at all times, so that large vessels will be able to reach Florence in the 

 future.
