Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor is a linear state park in southwestern Oregon,
in the United States. It is 12 miles long and thickly forested along steep and rugged
coastline with a few small sand beaches. It is named in honor of Samuel H. Boardman,
the first Oregon Parks superintendent.
It is located from 3 to 15 miles north of Brookings, between the Pacific Ocean and
U.S. Route 101. The north end abuts the Pistol River State Scenic Viewpoint.
More than 14 named creeks cross the corridor.
The Oregon Coast Trail meanders for about 27 miles through the park, among 300-year-old
Sitka spruce trees and several natural arches and bridges. There is beach access and some
sand dunes. The Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge and Oregon Islands Wilderness
protect wildlife and habitat on all of the approximately 130 rocks and islands along the
corridor's shore.
