Sur les rives de la rivière Nehalem très proche des belles plages de l'Oregon

So much to see and do on the Oregon coast and this house is in the perfect spot to venture from. If you are into Antiquing - go to Wheeler; golfing - Manzanita or the famous Gearhart Golf Links 30 miles north; beach combing - Manzanita, Oswald West, or Cannon Beach; hiking - first suggestion might be Neahakanie mountain, 2 miles, 900ft elevation, to the most fantastic view of the coast; shopping - Cannon Beach, kid stuff - Seaside. OK you get the idea - so much to do here.

Some of the wildlife we view regularly right off the deck: eagles, river otters, beavers, elk, deer, raccoons, sea lions and lots of birds like great blue herons, kingfishers, comorants, ducks, red tail hawks, osprey, and of course many species of seagulls. And this is actually pretty rare but I've twice seen our resident albino/white deer in the field across the road. Maybe you will be lucky if you take a look early in the morning. She's easy to spot if she's there.

Venture out on our two person kayak (be sure to wear a life vest) or go for a bike ride on one of the two bikes available (be sure to wear a helmet). Trout fishing right off the bank starts in May and the famous Chinook salmon run starts about August (it's up to the fish when they decide to come thru) and runs thru October. Steelhead fishing is very good a little further up the north fork of the Nehalem river. Steelhead is a winter sport - December thru February - but steelhead is "THE" prize fish to catch not to mention it taste really good. Be sure to check the rules and get a license. Razor Clamming is another famous Oregon past time just about 25 miles north at Del Rey beach just north of Seaside. And yes you can drive on that beach, north for miles actually. You need a really low tide and a clam shovel or clam gun (there are two on the propery) and of couse a fishing license.

Call me if you need any directions or suggestions on things to see or do.
