Neskowin Ghost Forest
The Neskowin Ghost Forest is the remnants of a Sitka spruce forest on the Oregon Coast of the United States. It was first created about 2000 years ago, by an earthquake of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, near Neskowin. Some stumps are as young as the 1700 Cascadia earthquake[1]
The ghost forest is near Proposal Rock. It is part of the Neskowin Beach State Recreation Site[2] and was unearthed when tides swept away the sand over the winter of 1996–1997.[3] The stumps are only rarely visible, and low tide in winter is the best time to see them.
