Leadbetter Point State Park - Leadbetter Point
Hiking to Leadbetter Point, you will find yourself at peace looking out onto the beautiful coast just south of the Olympic Peninsula. The beaches and coastal wildlife will take your breath away
After following State route 4 west to US 101 to enter Long Beach, you will continue north on SR 103 and arrive at Leadbetter Point State Park. The trailhead is approximately 1.5 miles up from the Park. As you begin your hike, take caution of the possible flooding from the November to April months. Once you reach the beach after heading west on the Red Trail for 0.5 miles, and following the Blue Trail right for 0.8 miles, you will enter a quiet, secluded place to enjoy the waters and beaches. The Willapa National Wildlife Refuge is located 0.5 miles north of the beach and indicates your return route back to the trailhead. If you choose to return, the loop is 3.6 miles, but if you choose to continue hiking, the trek is about 3.5 miles up to the peninsula. This specific trail makes a 1.8 mile retrun.
Driving Directions:
From Kelso, go 60 miles on State Route 4 west to US 101. For 15 miles, head south on US 101 and turn right just onto Sandridge Road (just before entering Long Beach). You will come to a junction with SR 103 in 11.5 miles. Continue north on SR 103 for 7.3 miles to enter Leadbetter State park. The road end and trailhead will be another 1.5 miles after the Park entrance. Recent Trip Reports

We ventured out to this hike but the forest trail was still mostly flooded. Need more time for it to dry out before you can do the entire trail.
