Review & FAQ:

As part of the Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex, Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge straddles the Siletz River that empties into Siletz Bay.

Visitors will find an estuarine habitat with mudflats, brackish marsh, salt marsh, tidal sloughs, and forests.

Those who love to get out on the water will appreciate the new boat launch for non-motorized boats like canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards.

Half-mile-long Alder Island Nature Trail provides easy walking into the refuge where there is also the Wildlife Viewing Station.

The Refuge is a great place for bird watching, photography, guided nature tours, wildlife viewing, and seasonal hunting.
