New River is Great in the Spring

Guide yourself to enjoy the diversity.

There isn’t a scheduled guided hike, but New River has a lot to offer at this time of year, so you don’t want to miss it. It’s easy to guide yourself with the maps available at the parking lot.

We’ll have a good supply of huckleberries come Fall
Directions: From Bandon or Coos Bay, travel south on Hwy. 101 to Croft Lake Lane, 11 miles south of Bandon. Turn right on Croft Lake Lane, and follow to the New River ACEC Nature Center.

  • Log a mile for 30 minutes of gardening (as long as you keep working)
  • Two laps around Mingus Park earns 1.2 miles
