About the nehalem river
The Nehalem River is a 119-mile-long river located in northwestern Oregon, USA. It is known for its pristine waters and rich salmon habitat. Historically, the river was used by Native American tribes for fishing and transportation. Today, the river is an important source of irrigation for agricultural lands and provides water for local communities. The river is also home to several dams and reservoirs, including the Vernonia Reservoir, which was built in the 1950s for flood control and water storage. Recreation is also popular along the Nehalem River, with opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and hiking. The river and its surrounding watershed are protected by various conservation efforts to maintain water quality and support biodiversity.
