Description:
Walk through the coastal forest and tidal flats of Leadbetter Point State Park, the Dune Forest Loop is a nice way to see this low-lying peninsula, but the conditions on trail are heavily dependent on the tides and recent rainfall. Come prepared to wade through at least a little bit of water, and don’t be surprised to find yourself navigating deeper stuff. Bring a tide table, and try to visit at low tide for the driest conditions.
Park at the lower trailhead, and begin by heading to the right, out to the shoreline. Walk north along the sandy beach bordering Willapa Bay. Often littered with driftwood and fallen trees, this section can be difficult to navigate when the tide is high.
Enjoy the Willapa Hills, low mountains of southwest Washington to your right, but keep an eye out for the turnoff back into the forest to your left. It’s at a viewing platform about a half mile from the lower trailhead. Duck back into the forest and soon find yourself at the upper trailhead and parking area, complete with restrooms, should you need them.

Do you Pass? Many of the locations we venture out to require a pass. Discover Pass and Northwest Forest Pass are the 2 most common. We try to make it known when a pass is used, but for your own protection, it is a good idea to have both.
