The Elk River is in Curry County, approximately three miles north of Port Orford, along the beautiful southern Oregon Coast. Seventeen miles of the mainstem and a two-mile segment of the North Fork Elk were designated Wild and Scenic in 1988; the remainder of the North Fork and the South Fork Elk were added in 2009. The outstandingly remarkable values of the Elk River are its fisheries and water quality. Explore Elk River Road to get beautiful views and explore Sunshine Bar, Butler Bar, and Big Rock.
This is a fun geocache on the official Cache the Coast GeoTour presented by Oregon Coast Today, Wild Rivers Coast Food Trail, and the 2019 Live Culture Coast event.
The Wild Rivers Coast Food Trail is a collaborative effort to connect locals and visitors to the bounty available on Oregon’s South Coast. Supporting local food is a way to support our communities and the producers & crafters that work hard to grow and use our local ingredients.
Live Culture Coast is a sensory celebration of creativity, exploration set along the edge of the continent amidst the wilds and wonders of the Southern Oregon Coast. Running from Reedsport to Brookings, the Southern Oregon Coast landscapes are dramatic, literally breathtaking.
Live Culture Coast grew from a desire to explore the energetic possibilities of different ecosystems, ideas, microbes, stories, and people coming together. People and community. Locals and travelers. Microorganisms and food. Landscapes and creativity. By joining the people of Live Culture Coast, you yourself are an active starter for a beautiful place in the process of becoming. Geocaching got its start in Oregon in 2000, yet more proof that Oregon has an active starter culture. We hope you will join us to explore the edges.
