Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge

A new nature trail at Nestucca Bay NWR is now open to visitors from sunrise to sunset. The 2.2-mile Two Rivers Nature Trail offers hikers several loop trail options. The trail surface is a combination of gravel or natural soils and is rated as moderately difficult based on elevation changes and uneven terrain. The trail winds through alder forest, coastal prairie, and small wildflower meadows with a stop to view the confluence of the Nestucca and Little Nestucca Rivers. The family-friendly trail offers birdwatching along the way and plenty of opportunity to take photographs of the preserved forestlands. There is also a picnic table available for those who want to enjoy views of the bay while taking a break. Please note Dogs are not allowed in this wildlife refuge.
