Your first impression of Loeb may well be the scent of the myrtlewood forest ... a crisp, bay leaf aroma. The park is nestled in a grove of these lovely trees. Many of the trees in the park are well over 200 years old. The Chetco River swirls and dances just beyond the park.

Several campsites and three rental cabins face the river. During the year, you can fish, swim and raft, or just walk a self-guided streamside nature trail. The river offers some of the finest fall and winter salmon and steelhead fishing on the south coast. You can bank fish from the gravel bar or use a drift boat. Throughout spring and summer, you may see scampering chipmunks, hear chirping osprey or see a family of river otters frolicking in the water.

The northern most redwood grove in the U.S. can be reached by a .75 mile self-guided River View Trail adjacent to the Chetco River.

Alfred A. Loeb State Park is located in Curry County, Oregon, along the Chetco River near Brookings. The park was named after Alfred A. Loeb, a former state senator and judge who played a significant role in preserving natural areas of southern Oregon.

The history of the park dates back to 1947 when it was established as an overnight camping area by private landowners Fred and Mary Lois Lobdell on their property known as "Lobdell's Point." They operated this campground for several years until they decided to sell it due to financial difficulties.

In 1951, Alfred A. Loeb purchased the property with his wife Helen intending to preserve its scenic beauty for public enjoyment rather than developing it commercially or selling off parcels individually like neighboring properties were doing at that time.

Loeb worked tirelessly towards achieving this goal and successfully convinced local authorities about the importance of protecting such pristine landscapes from urbanization pressures. He donated part of his own funds while also securing additional funding through grants from various sources including federal agencies like National Parks Service (NPS) which recognized its significance as well.

With these efforts combined with support from community members advocating for conservation measures within Southern Oregon region; eventually led them into acquiring necessary permits required under law before officially opening up what we now know today - Alfred A.Loeb State Park- during summer season 1960s onwards till present day where visitors can enjoy recreational activities amidst beautiful surroundings offered here!
