Running parallel to the Pacific Ocean for nine miles, New River is separated
from the ocean by only a thin strip of sand. Many rare birds, animals and
plants depend on New River's estuary, forest, meadow, wetland, and shrub
habitat for survival. The area remains secluded and primitive and is a perfect
area to watch wildlife or hike on the five miles of self-guided loop trails.
There are four main access points to the New River Area of Critical
Environmental Concern: Storm Ranch, Floras Lake, Lost Lake and Fourmile.
Visitors can also view state of the art displays about the area at the Nature
Center at Storm Ranch.

## Know Before You Go:

  * Open Year Round.
  * Vault restrooms.
  * Day-use only; open sunrise to sunset.
  * No drinking water available.
  * Please keep pets on a leash.
  * Small boat launch for non-motorized watercraft.

## Point of Interest:

The threatened western Snowy Plover calls the New River area home. Please
observe posted closures on the Storm Ranch road and beach March 15 to
September 15.

Established in 1983, Bandon Marsh NWR is located along the picturesque
southern Oregon coast near the mouth of the Coquille River and the city of
Bandon. Its invertebrate-rich mudflats fuel the migration of tens of thousands
of shorebirds every spring and fall, making it an important stopover site
along the Pacific Flyway. Young salmon and trout find sanctuary in the
estuary's steep-banked tidal channels and anchored driftwood.

The freshwater and intertidal marshes, forested wetlands, grasslands, and
upland forest of Bandon Marsh NWR are the ancestral home of the Coquille
Indian Tribe, whose members reside in the area and continue to use and enjoy
the many resources of the Refuge.
