Ecola State Park

Ecola State Park is a state park located approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Cannon Beach in Clatsop County in the U.S. state of Oregon on the Oregon Coast. It is administered by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. The park was home to the Tillamook and Clatsop for millennia before European colonization. It takes the name Ecola from a nearby creek, given a Chinook Jargon name meaning 'whale' by members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The park is included as part of Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, though separate entrance fees are charged.
