Savor the Flavors Along the Wild Rivers Coast Food Trail

Get Your Local Food Fix and Let Your Taste Buds Run Wild This Fall

It’s been an extraordinary year for many of us and chances are your taste buds probably need a break too! This fall, treat yourself to a one-of-a-kind tasting adventure you can only find along the Wild Rivers Coast Food Trail , a collaborative effort to connect locals and visitors to the bounty available on Oregon’s South Coast.

Why now? Because it’s harvest season and you’d be supporting communities and local food growers. Because the producers & crafters you’ll meet along this trail will offer a unique and personalized experience you won’t find anywhere else. Because it’s an amazing opportunity to break out of your rut and try something new.

Here’s what you need to know: The trail runs from Brookings to Reedsport, and inland to Myrtle Point. More than forty businesses in categories ranging from farms, farm-to-table, seafood producers, local markets, craft brews & spirits, and artisan products are taking part.
