The Big Nestucca River
The Nestucca River is a 57-mile (92 km) river in northwest Oregon, United States. It flows through forests near the Pacific coast and drains a timber-producing area of the Northern Oregon Coast Range west of Portland.
The Nestucca River originates in the mountains of western Yamhill County and is dammed near its headwaters to create McGuire Reservoir, which provides the primary water source for McMinnville. Flowing generally west, it passes through Bureau of Land Management land and Siuslaw National Forest before Beaver, then southwest past Hebo and Cloverdale. The Little Nestucca River enters from the south as the Nestucca empties into Pacific City on Oregon’s northern coast at Nestucca Bay.
