Description
The mouth of the pristine Elk River is south of Cape Blanco. Over the course of half a century, the river has wandered north along the beach for a mile from its original egress point and is now separated from the ocean by Tituna Spit. The river is fordable here for Oregon Coast Trail hikers in the summer. It’s a long flat sandy stretch down to Port Orford.
