Coastal MapThe information from this page and its links are from the Boating in Oregon Coastal Waters publication. Please click the name of the river or bay.
 
Each bar, bay, or river entrance on the Oregon coast summons its own set of challenges. The following pages present information that every boater should know before operating on these waters.
 
Descriptions are illustrated with aerial views of the channel entrances and with annotated charts. Danger areas are represented on the charts by shading. In addition to buoys, the channels of many rivers and bays are marked wiuth pairs of range markers as an aid to navigation. Steering a course by keeping pairs of range markers in line will help guide a boat through the channel.
