Spring Lake Open Space

Lincoln City has 8 Open Space Parks with walking trails to explore. On this trip to the coast, we stopped to check out the birds at Spring Lake Open Space. Located just three blocks off of busy Highway 101, it is a quiet oasis away from the beach crowd, with its towering trees and dense shrubbery surrounding tiny Spring Lake.  Although this is an e-Bird Hotspot, birds were rather scarce, but the sense of solitude and an opportunity to stretch your legs, makes it a worthy stop. In checking Cascade Ramblings, I was surprised to find that it has been seven years since we were here last.  Checkout that post here.
