Kernville

Kernville is best known on Oregon’s coast for its position beside Siletz Bay, where the Siletz River broadens into an estuary before reaching the Pacific. This small Lincoln County community sits just inland from the ocean, with tidal flats, salt marshes and channels shaping its surroundings. Much of the bay’s wetland habitat is protected by the Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge, an important stopover and wintering area for migratory birds. Kernville’s identity also reflects the working history of the Siletz Bay area, long tied to fishing and travel by water.
