(Non-tidal)

Fresh water rivers descend from coastal mountains, meeting salty ocean tides driven by multi-planetary gravity, mixing together to form our vibrant coastal estuaries.

This context makes fresh water lakes a fascinating geological addition to the otherwise salty marine environment of the Oregon Coast. Good for families, beginners, and those seeking a relaxing experience to view abundant wildlife, paddling coastal lakes is an excellent choice.

Note: lakes are not subject to the ocean tides like our bays and rivers, which means scheduling your time on the water is lot more flexible.
