The community is also part of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, where residents can hike to scenic dune vistas, explore in ATVs or go camping. Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park, known as Honeyman, is also nearby. This coastal park encompasses forest trails, dune trails, campgrounds, hunting areas and two lakes. On Woahnik Lake and Siltcoos Lake, residents can go boating, kayaking, fishing, swimming or diving. This water lover's paradise is a popular summer vacation spot, but residents' proximity makes it easy to enjoy in the off-season.
