Otter Crest State Scenic Viewpoint
About
Otter Crest State Scenic Viewpoint is a small, 1-acre park on the Oregon coast, about 3.4 miles from the town of Depoe Bay. Its size makes it a quick stop rather than a destination for a full day. Late summer into early fall is the mildest time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Newport show highs around 65 to 66°F from July through September, with lows near 50°F. Winter months stay cool, with highs in the low to mid 50s. Visitors with more time can pair a stop here with walks nearby. Depoe Bay Park Trail is about 3.3 miles away, and the Ocean to Bay Trail and Olalla Reservoir Trail are within about 9 miles. Paddlers can head to Depot Creek, roughly 9 miles off.
