I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
Here in Oregon, our outdoor recreation scene is best described as “extra.” From our epic waterfalls to majestic mountains, everything about Oregon’s Great Outdoors is extraordinary. Even our state parks. Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park in Florence boasts not one, not two, but three incredible lakes for outdoor recreation. Jessie M. Honeyman is a resplendent lakeside oasis that’s a picture-perfect place to spend a day or weekend in Oregon. This Oregon State Park with three lakes makes for epic outdoor recreation.
Located in Florence, Oregon, Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park is the second-largest state park in Oregon.
Coastal Dune Lakes are actually incredibly rare. The Oregon Coast is one of just three places in the country where they can be found.

The Oregon Dunes Recreational Area is adjacent to the park; in some places the dunes go right up to the lake, ensuring that you'll have plenty of sand to play on.
It's also a favorite for fishing; and if you prefer to cast your line on land, there's an expansive dock that's the perfect place to sit back and wait for a fish to bite.
It's the perfect place to experience yugen, the Japanese word that refers to the awareness that the universe is so profound, the emotions we feel when we try to contemplate it are simply too deep to convey. Sit back at this breathtaking Oregon lake, and be filled with a sense of yugen.
Jessie M. Honeyman Park is an enchanting Oregon treasure. Its endless coastlines and pristine lakes make for the ultimate day on the water.
