The Wild and Scenic Chetco river estuary in Brookings offers a variety of experiences ranging from frequent Pelican and Kingfisher sightings as well as seals, 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 2.75 to 3 miles for the 1.5 tour.

Please remember that guiding is a part of the service industry. If your guide takes care of you, take care of them. Tips are greatly appreciated.
