Hoffman Memorial State Wayside
About
Hoffman Memorial State Wayside is a small 4-acre park in Oregon, about 2 miles from the town of Myrtle Point. Its compact size makes it a quick stop rather than a full-day destination, and it works well as a base point for exploring the surrounding area. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Powers weather station show July and August highs around 80°F with only two or three wet days a month. Winter is far damper, with rain on 17 or 18 days a month from December through January. Several outdoor options lie within a short drive. Pack Trail, about 4 miles away, offers hiking. Hall Creek and Catching Creek, both roughly 6 miles out, are canoeing spots, as is Big Creek at about 9 miles.
