Passport to adventure in Lincoln City
Explore Lincoln City and Lincoln City Parks and Recreation have launched the new Lincoln City Hiking Trails Passport. This latest addition to the Adventure Passports collection invites visitors and locals to explore nine of Lincoln City’s most scenic and diverse hiking trails.
The Adventure Passports currently include digital passports for the Lincoln City Art Trail, Lincoln City Tap & Brew Trail and Exploriences Passport. These digital interactive guides offer a curated selection of experiences, from scenic hiking trails to local craft breweries, each revealing hidden treasures and insider tips. By blending technology with exploration, the passports provide immersive and educational journeys, enabling visitors to explore Lincoln City’s natural wonders, cultural hotspots and local favorites at their own pace.
“We’re thrilled to introduce yet another great way visitors can discover the hidden gems of Lincoln City’s trail system,” said Kim Cooper Findling, director of Explore Lincoln City. “The Lincoln City Hiking Trails Passport encourages outdoor adventure while helping people connect with the unique ecosystems and landscapes that make our region so unique. We can’t wait for people to explore our trails and find their own favorite scenic overlook, forest path, wetlands area or birding spot.”
Highlights of the Lincoln City Hiking Trails Passport include: diverse trails ranging from easy walks to moderately challenging hikes, family-friendly options suitable for all ages and skill levels, unique features like the world’s shortest trail (planned for the new Schooner Creek Discovery Park) and Oregon’s 79th Heritage Tree, opportunities to spot native plant species and local wildlife and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, Devils Lake and Lincoln City.
The passport is designed to be user-friendly and accessible. After completing a hike, participants can easily check in at each trail head location on their passport using their mobile devices, earning points towards fun prizes. Passport users who complete all nine trails will receive a free 12-ounce aluminum water bottle with attached carabiner, perfect for future hiking adventures. Prizes are available for pick-up at the Lincoln City Community Center, located at 2150 NE Oar Place.
