Interpretive Hike at Blacklock Point–Wednesday, March 30, 2022 – Blacklock Point has been proposed to be designated as a Marine Conservation Area. You can find out why by joining in an event offered by the South Coast Rocky Shores Group. Larry Basch will lead an interpretive hike, discussing, among other things, Blacklock’s ecological connection to Cape Blanco, which has been proposed as a Marine Research Reserve as part of the Rocky Habitat strategy. The hike is about 3.5 miles, round trip. Be sure to dress for the weather and wear shoes that can get wet and muddy. For more details go to the announcement on the Coos Trails Website. Location and Time: Assemble at the Cape Blanco airport parking area before 3:30; the hike will leave promptly, to make sure to allow enough time to complete the round-trip in daylight. To reach the trailhead, from Highway 101 turn on Airport Road opposite Pacific High School, just north of the hamlet of Sixes, between Bandon and Port Orford.
