Neskowin Ghost Forest Neskowin, OR 97149 Last Updated: 06/05/2024 | |
The Neskowin Ghost Forest is a remarkable natural wonder located on the Oregon Coast, about 15 miles north of Lincoln City. It consists of over 100 ancient Sitka spruce tree stumps that were exposed in 1997-98 after powerful winter storms eroded the sand that had buried them for centuries. | |
Scientists believe the trees were felled during a major earthquake along the Cascadia subduction zone around 1700 AD, which caused the forested land to subside into the tidal zone. The stumps are estimated to be around 2,000 years old and were once part of a coastal rainforest with trees reaching 150-200 feet in height. |
