Alderwood

Alderwood State Wayside is a small but pleasant roadside rest area nestled in the scenic Coast Range foothills west of Corvallis along Highway 34. This day-use site provides a shaded picnic area beneath towering alders and other native trees, offering weary travelers a peaceful spot to rest and enjoy the forest environment. The wayside serves as a gateway between the Willamette Valley and the Oregon coast, positioned along a route that has connected these regions for over a century.
