Originating in the Coast Range Mountains west of Corvallis, The Yaquina River flows approximately 60 miles in a highly serpentine course, through Eddyville, Chitwood, Toledo, and Elk City, and enters the Pacific Ocean at Yaquina Bay.

 

A major stream in the Central Oregon Coast, it runs west to empty into the Pacific Ocean in Newport.

​

The Yaquina river offers fall Chinook salmon, winter steelhead, and cutthroat trout fishing. This fishery provides a quiet and beautiful day of the river with plenty of opportunities to encounter one of its elusive creatures.
