About this river

Siletz River

The Siletz River is located in western Oregon and runs approximately 70 miles from its source in the Coast Range Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Historically, the river was home to the Siletz tribe of Native Americans, who relied on the river for fishing and other resources. Today, the river supports a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, camping, and kayaking. It also plays an important role in agricultural production in the region. The river is dammed by a number of reservoirs, including the Green Peter Dam and the Foster Dam, which are used for hydroelectric power generation and flood control. Despite the presence of these dams, the Siletz River remains an important resource for both people and wildlife in the region.
