This is part of Siltcoos Lake Trail, a two and one half mile hike, located about a mile south of Fish Mill Lodges. It starts at Highway 101 and ends at Siltcoos Lake, were there are picnic tables & fire pits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The boardwalk in the picture above goes over this little creek. That's our dog Gretta getting in on the action.

 

 

 

 

 

I thought this looked cool so I took a picture.

 

 

 

 

 

I don't know what the true name of these plants are, but we call 'em skunk cabbage because of their funky aroma.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Trillium flower.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok that's it for the Siltcoos Lake Trail pictures :O)

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Siltcoos Lagoon Trail Head. It's about two miles south of Fish Mill Lodges.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Siltcoos Lagoon Trail is a short and very easy hike, and it's right on the way to the beach.

 

 

 

 

Plenty of photo opportunities too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took these pictures in early April, so there's not as much greenery as there is in the summertime, but its still very beautiful. *And not many people around that time of the year*

 

 

There are usually geese in the lagoon so you might want to bring munchies to feed them.

 

 

That's all for Siltcoos Loogon ;0)

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Wax Mytrle Trial.

 

 

It follows the Siltcoos River to the ocean.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Standing on the second bridge, near Wax Myrtle Trailhead, I took this picture of the Siltcoos River, in the morning one winter. The location of this bridge can be seen on the map below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a map if you want to see where I took the above pictures. The turn offs shown here (right to Siltcoos Lake Trail and Left for Siltcoos Rec. Area) are about one mile south of FML.
