SOUTH FORK OF THE CHETCO RIVER
The South Fork Chetco with the main stem of the Wild and Scenic Chetco River, is a little more than a 1/2 hour drive from our coastal town of Brookings, Oregon. You can enjoy summer fun in the crystal clear waters of this outstanding river. Picnicking, sunbathing, swimming, floating and other forms of non-motorized water sports are possible.
This time of year the Chetco River has usually come down in level as shown in this photo. But there is still enough flow to have some fun with inner tubes and kayaks.
And that's exactly what we did this weekend, including camping in a wonderful campground located right on the river. We had to pack out our trash and there was no drinking water available, but we came prepared and it was a wonderful time! I would recommend this campsite if you want to thoroughly enjoy the outdoors, because you have the river and the wilderness all in one spot!
