Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Tillamook weather station show July and August highs around 68 to 69°F with lows near 50°F, and only about seven wet days in each of those months, compared with 22 or more in the depths of winter. Several other outings lie within a short drive. Hidden Lake Trail and Salmonberry Trail are both about 3 miles away, Foley Creek offers canoeing about 4.5 miles off, and Cape Meares Scenic Trail sits roughly 8.6 miles from the park.
