Leave No Trace / Tread Lightly
OTG subscribes and supports the principles behind Leave No Trace and Tread Lightly-- better yet, leave it better than you found it! Please come prepared to pack out all of your own waste-- including solid human waste. While Usal Beach does have out houses, they are occasionally locked due to overuse.
Other Things to Know
Overland Trail Guides will be filming throughout the duration of the trip, with the intention of turning the footage into a video route guide for the Lost Coast 4x4 trail. This may entail occasional stops for filming, especially when a drone is used.
Usal Beach / Driving on the Beach is not Permitted
While many camp and drive on the beach at Usal, this is actually not permitted by State Parks. We will be abiding by their regulations and camping in one of the forest campsites, or if we're lucky, we'll see if we can snag one of the sites in the alder trees next to the beach.
