Recreation

In the past decade, Yachats has earned a growing reputation as one of the top trail towns in Oregon and beyond. Featured in local, national, and now international publications, our trails attract visitors from far and wide and serve as a primary draw for those considering making Yachats their home. View the Future supports these trails through our land easements, special projects, and by documenting the history of Yachats trails and the key individuals who have contributed to their development.
