Fish On! When the Chinook are running you can't hardly find a roadside parking spot at this popular fishing hole in the Salmon River Estuary. When the fish aren't running if you don't mind a little traffic buzzing by, you've got the "two-lane wildlife viewing platform", better known as Highway 101 all to yourself. The prominent Cascade Head shoulders the river's right bank as the Salmon heads to sea in Oregon's most intact estuary. Since 1974 the area has enjoyed federal protection through the Cascade Head Scenic Research Act (CHSRA) and is also one of the United Nations Bio Reserves.
Project Restorations are too numerous to list but include Pixieland, Tamara Quays, Crowley Creek, and Rowdy Creek.

Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
