Coquille

Oregon River Fun

by Manuela Durson

Just inland from the Coast, the festive town of Coquille sits on the river it was named for and offers year-round river fun.

Coquille takes its name from the Indian tribe who lived in villages near the winding river. In the 1850’s the town evolved into a timber center with ships headed upriver, loaded with lumber for the markets in San Francisco. Riverboats were the preferred method of transportation for locals and travelers, and coal and creameries soon joined timber to grow the town and its economy. The river is still a huge draw for the community with fabulous fishing, boating, hiking, and biking opportunities. Coquille also boasts the chance to ride the rails courtesy of the Oregon Coast Railriders, the Coquille Valley Museum, the Sawdust Theater and the you-have-to-come-see-it-to-believe-it “Gay 90’s” festival the first Saturday in June.
