For the best of both Oregon worlds, beat a hasty retreat to Bend, a central city home to a culturally-oriented community and close to ski slopes, raftable river, ragged mountains, golf courses, top climbing spots and peaceful forest.
The North Spit of Coos Bay is a strip of land between the Pacific Ocean and the waters of Coos Bay. Watching commercial vessels is but one unique opportunity to be enjoyed on this industrialized, semi-wild peninsula. Respect for private lands and protection of endangered species habitat limit public access. Cross country vehicle travel is not allowed off of existing trails without written permission .
