This is an easy walk through the forest right in the heart of Lincoln City. We’ll look for year round residents such as Downy Woodpecker as well as wintering sparrows.

Location: Meet at the trailhead on NE West Devils Lake Rd. There is limited parking along the street at the trailhead.

Directions: The trailhead is approximately 0.1 mi south of Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital in Lincoln City on the west side of NE West Devils Lake Rd.
