Review:

Beaver Creek State Nature Area is a nature area and state park near Ona Beach State Park in Lincoln County and is part of Brian Booth State Park. Located a few miles from the Pacific Ocean, the park is centered around the paddling Beaver Creek, which meanders through wide and flat bends and is home to a wealth of bird and wildlife, including beaver, river otter, heron, and osprey. The creek is surrounded by wildlife-filled riparian habitat, and the slow, meandering flat water is ideal for a family-friendly adventure of canoeing, kayaking, and stand-up paddle-boarding. Beaver Creek State Natural Area serves as a vital part of the Beaver Creek watershed, connecting marsh habitats and coastal areas with ancient, old-growth forests. A Welcome Center offers information about the wildlife in the area, and guided kayak tours.
