Location Details

The Knoll is known as a little sister to Cascade Head. Located within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, this meadowed hill north of Lincoln City boasts a moderately difficult 3-mile loop. Those who reach the top can breathe in the spectacular views of the Pacific coastline, Devil's Lake and Roads End.

Parking Information

From Hwy 101, turn north onto NE Devils Lake Blvd. Follow the road past a gate until you reach a cul-de-sac. Ample parking is available along the street with the trailhead just beyond the road.

Safety

Please be mindful as you hike Lincoln City's open spaces. Always stay on the trails, protect wildlife habitat, and keep small children and animals near you at all times. If you do bring a furry friend, make sure they stay on leash at all times.
