The Siuslaw (sy-yoo-slaw) River gets its start in the Coast Range near Cottage Grove, and runs 110 miles to the Pacific near Florence, Oregon. The river is named after the Siuslaw tribe who called it ‘iktat’uu, which means "the big one" in their language. At times narrow with small rapids, the river widens and deepens as it nears the coast. It is an important habitat for many birds, fish, and plant species and as such is popular for fishing, kayaking, hiking, and cycling.
