ECOLA STATE PARK
Go there and contact
Ecola State Park winds around Tillamook Head and offers a magnificent view from the cliffs where many birds nest. On a rock offshore, you can see the old Tillamook lighthouse (abandoned since 1957). There are several trails to discover the coast and are classified as Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. Captain Clark and his men came here from their camp at Fort Clatsop (near Astoria) in 1806 in search of a beached whale that the Indians had mentioned. Ecola comes from the Indian word ekoli, which means whale. Their route is now traced by the Clatsop Loop.
