Protected Area

Cascade Head

Protected Landscape and Seascape

Cascade Head is a coastal headland on the Oregon coast between Lincoln City and Neskowin, about 85 miles southwest of Portland. It is managed as a 102,110 acre United States Forest Service Experimental Forest and is part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves, and a separate Nature Conservancy preserve protects part of the headland. U.S. Highway 101 crosses the headland at its highest point in Oregon. Disclosed low confidence: the fetched lead names no single explicit IUCN category, so Protected Landscape and Seascape is a closest fit given the mixed research, conservation and highway-corridor use.
