Kayaking Brookings Chetco River

Overview

The Wild and Scenic Chetco river estuary in Brookings offers a variety of experiences ranging from frequent Pelican and Kingfisher sitings to neat coves, sloughs and some of the cleanest water on the coast. The boat basin offers a very easy calm water introduction where you can view the many different commercial fishing boats, Coast Guard vessels and pleasure craft moored up to the docks. Total freshwater paddling distance is about 2.5 miles for the 1.5 to 2 hour tour.

Nicholas was very knowledgeable about the fauna and flora of the region. He made us feel safe and we had a beautiful kayak outing. We saw many cute harbor seals, along with snowy egrets, cormorants, seagulls, minnows, ducks and a great blue heron. The 12 foot kayaks were nice with a rudder to steer by using your feet. I highly recommend this trip, but keep in mind it is only 2 hours.

This company was great. They took out info online and kept a good social distance. The equipment had been sanitized and ready for us when we arrived after a brief Instruction we were on the water. The equipment was clean and did not smell Moldy. The kayaks were newer and had many seat and leg adjustments for all different body types. The river was calm and there are places to easily get out the kayaks and take a dip along the river. It was a perfect two hours.
