Kloochy Creek County Park
When you stay at The Ocean Front at Seaside, you’re not just steps from the beach. You’re also within easy reach of one of Oregon’s most serene and scenic outdoor getaways: Klootchy Creek County Park. Located just 7 miles southeast of our hotel, this lush forest retreat offers the perfect day trip for nature lovers, families, and adventure seekers alike.
A Forest Wonderland Near Seaside, Oregon
Tucked into a quiet corner of Clatsop County, Klootchy Creek County Park is a peaceful refuge filled with the towering beauty of Pacific Northwest Sitka spruce trees, including the remains of what was once the tallest Sitka spruce in the world. Though the original tree was lost to a windstorm in 2007, its massive base still stands, offering visitors a rare glimpse into Oregon’s ancient past.
Creekside Calm and Family-Friendly Fun
A gentle creek winds its way through the park, adding a soothing soundtrack to your visit. Whether you’re enjoying a laid-back picnic under the trees, letting the kids burn off energy in the playground, or simply soaking in the calm of nature, Klootchy Creek offers the kind of restorative experience that feels worlds away without actually being far from your room.
Mountain Biking Meets the Misty Forest
Looking for a little more adrenaline? Klootchy Creek is also the launch point for a growing system of mountain biking trails developed in collaboration with Clatsop County Parks, GreenWood Resources, and the North Coast Trail Alliance. With several miles of flowy downhill trails already open—and more in the works—it’s a hidden gem for riders of all skill levels.
Make It Part of Your Seaside Stay
Whether you’re chasing solitude among ancient trees or planning an active outdoor day with the family, Klootchy Creek County Park makes an ideal addition to your Seaside itinerary. And with its location just a short, scenic drive from The Ocean Front at Seaside, you can easily pair a morning forest hike with a sunset view back at your room.
