Manzanita Rest Area Northbound

A northbound rest area on I-5 near Merlin, this stop gives travelers up to 12 hours of legal overnight parking under Oregon state rules. It runs hot in summer, and wildfire smoke is a real seasonal concern worth checking before arrival. Amenities include toilets, picnic tables, and a small designated dog area with waste bags.
