Ride the tide while watching Cormorants fishing, drying
themselves while resting on logs. Spot a harbor seal looking to snag
a Chinook salmon on its way upriver to spawn. See a horned owl begin
its evening prowl beneath a highway bridge.
Despite close proximity to human
civilization, nearby Nehalem Bay State Park, surrounding salt marshes, and
undisturbed islands still provide much natural habitat, making encounters
with harbor seals, screeching eagles, sea birds and elk not so uncommon.
Both upstream and downstream trips offer athletic accomplishment and
natural beauty.
Wandering along side the sleepy cities of Nehalem and Wheeler, you can get
both a taste of nature and the local community before stepping out of your
kayak and into the comforts of coastal accommodations! Don’t forget that
the hip and trendy City of Manzanita is just a few miles north.
