The Siletz River is a long, undulating coastal stream drains much of northern Lincoln County. Unusual for its aimless course, the river is constantly twisting and turning in every possible direction, with wildlife around every turn

The Siletz River is particularly pleasant on a hot day, as it offers many shady portions and placid pools of cool water where fish live.

A variety of dependent birds, including great blue herons, Red-tailed hawks, bald eagles, and other raptors, can often be seen roosting at the top of these snags. Many species of waterfowl can be seen foraging in the tidally influenced waters. The river has wildlife that can only be seen from the river.

The recreational jewel of the lower Siletz is the beaches the Pacific Ocean creates from its sand. Seven miles of Lincoln City beach lie north of the bay, while to the south is an equally long stretch of sand at Salishan, Gleneden, and Lincoln beaches.

Admire the harbor seals that often bask at the tip of Salishan Spit, easy to see across the bay’s mouth from the Taft area of Lincoln City but difficult to reach by walking because it takes a three-mile beach walk from Gleneden Beach State Recreation Site.

Best Launch Times

We only launch once a day at our location at 82 Siletz Highway. This is because the Siletz River meets the Siletz Bay, and that location is greatly affected by the level of the tide.

If you want to go at other times, we have to take you upriver.  The upriver launch time has a larger launch time.

Best Launch Times

We only rent at certain times since our location is where the Siletz River meets the Pacific Ocean at Siletz Bay; therefore, the tides directly affect the water level.

 

Our Rental Location is near where the Siletz River meets the Pacific Ocean at Siletz Bay; therefore, the tides directly affect the water level in the Refuge. The following are the Rental and launch times for Kayaking.
