This park is located about 20 miles south of Tillamook very close to the pacific ocean... lovely spot really and we have always enjoyed our visits to this park. For 1 thing they have wild bunnies and deer which adds a special flavor! Then they are right across the street from a very cool beach with tide pools... their very own 'haystack rock' which they like to boast about in town.. the park is on a hill and densly wooded which adds a bit of privacy... WHEN the weather is nice, it's a great place to have campfires... this year however our timing was off and we hit a very rainy, windy time! goodness the wind and rain pelted down on us and we stayed pretty much holed up inside..ha! Left today (the 29th) and had every thing hit us from rain, wind, hail, snow and finally sunshine! Lovely.. now at Long Beach, WA until Friday!!!
Once upon a time many moons ago there was beautiful valley with a lovely Cherokee princess named Toccoa. There is more to the story however the legend is not sure if these beautiful falls are named for the lovely Toccoa or because of it's own beauty. In any event, these falls are now on the grounds of a Christian college in the town of Toccoa and the only access is through their gift shop where they charge a nominal fee ($1.00 each) to take the little walk up to the falls. Well worth the stop. The grounds are lovely even at this time of year and we did choose a pretty day even if it was rather on the cool side. Good for hiking. We were a bit surprised by all the water considering the dry summer here but they recently had some rain so that helped!
