Walkable North Bend–July 13, 2025 (Sunday, 10:00)

We have previously offered this hike in January, when we were at the mercy of Winter weather. A July walk means that you won’t need to bundle up.

Description

Explore some of the many paths and trails commonly used by the folks in North Bend both past and present.

You can join local author and historian Dick Wagner on an easy to moderate 2 mile loop from Ferry Road Park, along Bayview Ave and back up into town, before walking through Simpson Park, past the site of the former North Bend Visitor Center, under the McCullough Bridge, and then returning through the woods to Ferry Park. Dick literally ‘wrote the book’ (or books) on North Bend History.

This hike should last about 2 hours

Location and Time

We will meet at 10:00 on Sunday, July 13 in the Ferry Road Park parking lot.

Directions: Ferry Road is just South of the McCullough Bridge. If you are heading South it will be your first left. If you are heading North, it will be on the right, just past the site of the former North Bend Visitor Information Center.

To the Bogs and Back–Bandon 2024

Visit the Bogs…and More

Join us for an in-town hike on the wilder side of Bandon. Follow sidewalks, quiet streets and pathways on a 2.5-mile loop that leads from the Bandon History Museum to a good vantage point to see some cranberry bogs during harvest season. Museum volunteer Jim Proehl will share some “History Minutes” along the way. Expect a sojourn in a cemetery as part of this October hike. Extend the walk by picking up one of several “Healthy, Historic Hike” maps at the museum and following another route through historic Bandon.

Park in the museum parking lot and if that fills up, park in the public lot at Face Rock Creamery or on adjacent streets.

You’ll visit the site of this History Minute:

We got lucky on last year’s hike, and watched a live harvest. We can’t promise that this year, but it’s always possible!
