Oregon is one of my favorite getaway destinations. I love all of the small towns like Oceanside, Astoria, and Coos Bay. However, many of these small towns are located right along the coast and tend to draw in quite a crowd. That’s why you need to get away to Powers, Oregon, a remote destination that’s the perfect place to escape reality and disconnect. You may have to go out of your way to reach this town but once you spend time here, you’ll be glad you did.

Powers is a small town in Coos County with just over 700 residents. It is located right along Oregon Route 542.

And while there may not be too many businesses and shops to visit, Powers is known as the gateway to outdoor adventures. It's located in a valley that’s surrounded by hills and it sits on the South Fork of the Coquille River.
During your visit, lace up your hiking boots and check out the Panther Ridge Trail near town. This trail takes you to Hanging Rock, where you will have the most breathtaking views of the valley below.
