Join the South Coast Striders for a hike on July 8th at 10 a.m. to Blacklock Point from Floras Lake (92854 Floras Lake Rd., Langois). There are two hike options, a long hike or a short hike. Details for each are below.

Long Hike:

Join Reg Pullen for this rugged 8.5 mile journey from Floras Lake to Blacklock Point along beaches,  densely wooded trails and exposed rocky points with beautiful ocean views.

A beautiful hike with plenty of history and local lore in the mix.

This hike is rated difficult to most difficult, with some mild bushwhacking. The rating is based on the length and a couple of steep (but short) inclines.

Dress in layers, windbreaker with a hood is highly recommended.  Bring water and something to eat during a stop at the point.

Short Hike(s):

Those wanting a shorter hike can hike with the long hikers to certain key landmarks, and then return (will range from 3-5 miles depending on the turnaround)

This is always a great hike no matter what option you choose.

Directions:

From Bandon or Coos Bay, travel south on Hwy. 101 to Langlois. Go 1/2 mile past Langlois and turn right (west) on Floras Lake Loop Road. Follow the signs 3 miles to Floras Lake and Boice-Cope County Park.  From the South (Port Orford/Gold Beach/Brookings) you will take a left on Floras Lake Loop Road...and then follow the signs.
