Van Duzer Forest State Scenic Corridor is a scenic driving route along Route 18 in Lincoln [County, Oregon|Lincoln], Tillamook, and Polk counties in the U.S. state of Oregon that passes through a forested corridor. The Van Duzer Corridor stretches from northwestern Polk County to Lincoln City, passing through the Northern [Oregon Coast Range].

An old growth Douglas-fir forest is located along the Salmon River. Roosevelt elk can be seen along the route.
