Oswald West State Park is part of the state park system of the U.S. state of Oregon. It is located about 10 miles south of the city of Cannon Beach, Oregon, on the Pacific Ocean coastline. Oswald West enjoys unique walk-in access, with wheelbarrows provided by the parks system for transporting gear from the parking area to the 30 camping sites. It claims 2448 acres, with many miles of hiking trails both inside the park grounds and linking to other parks and landmarks beyond.
The state park also contains the peak of Neahkahnie Mountain.
