7/28/2023 - Nehalem River, Nehalem, OR

Time: 3.27 hours

Distance: 9.89 miles

We put into the Nehalem River in Nehalem on a beautiful morning. We paddled up-river just past Necanicum highway bridge before heading back. We saw no real river traffic, the sun was out and the wind was consistently light making for a very pleasant paddle.
