Falcon Cove Rd is the southernmost access to this neighborhood, and to Cove Beach at the shore. There is a little-marked trailhead close to US 101; this spectacular section of the Oregon Coast Trail leads (7 miles?) over Arch Cape (the cape) to Short Sand Beach. |

99 | Rainforest trailheadIn the middle of mile 99, there is a small pull-out from US-101 with parking for a few cars and a trailhead.

100 | ||
101 | summitHere there was once a gravel forest road to the Cascade Head upper trailhead. C.2021, the road was washed out near the junction with US-101, and in 2023, it appears that the intent is to erase the road rather than repair it. Cascade Head is a wildlife refuge, and was formerly heavily used though only open half of the year. Now, there are hikes from lower trailheads that are strenuous enough to filter out some visitors (maybe all who had intent to haul out poached flora or fauna). |

|
181 | 👀, 95, halfway!There are a series of worthwhile viewpoint turn-outs on US 101 on the long slope toward the dunes. Just south of milepost 181 and the Southview road, one of these turnouts offers a great view and also an unmarked trailhead down the slope to Oregon beach access point 95. It provides access to the northernmost beach in Oregon's Dune Country.Arithmetically, 181.5 is halfway from 0 at the Columbia River to 363 at the California border along US 101 in Oregon. In reality, the mileposts are discontinuous along Nehalem Bay, north of Lincoln City, and within Bandon. |
