Located at the Oswald West State Park, the Cape Falcon Hike is an easy 4.8-mile hike that leads through gorgeous scenery to the most stunning coastal overlook.
Tucked into the forest of the Oswald West State Park you’ll find the Cape Falcon Trailhead. This beautiful out-and-back trail is 4.8 miles round trip and relatively easy.
