Tips from locals
Oregon’s South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve is made up of 4,771 acres and provides habitats for salmon, great blue herons, bald eagles, migrating ducks, elk, sea otters, oysters, and crabs. The Reserve offers a diverse landscape of open waters, emergent islands, streams, salt marshes, and conifer-forested uplands.
South Slough Estuary has some great hiking trails that start in the woods and lead to the Slough. It's just 4 miles up the road on seven devils road. Their is another section further up on seven devils on a sharp curve Hinch Road. There are more hiking trails here and this land once was a family farm that belonged to the Frederickson's.
