About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Siletz Moorage is a convenient boat launch on the Siletz River in Siletz, Oregon, located just off Highway 101 in Lincoln County. The site features a small parking area and is easily accessible for both launching and retrieving vessels.
**What to Expect:** This is a trailer-accessible boat ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. The facility offers assigned moorage options if you're interested in docking—contact 541-996-6824 for availability and pricing. For paddlers exploring the nearby Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge, this is a solid launch point to access tidal salt marsh areas via non-motorized boats. If you're looking for additional launch options, Coyote Rock has a public boat launch about 2 miles upstream, and the Alder Island launch within the Wildlife Refuge is specifically reserved for non-motorized boats only.
**Nearby Recreation:** Beyond paddling the Siletz River estuary, the area offers excellent opportunities for exploration, including the protected tidal marshes of Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The Valley of the Giants Outstanding Natural Area—featuring some of the Oregon Coast Range's largest Douglas firs and Western Hemlocks—is also nearby for post-paddling hikes.
