The Siletz River (suh-LITZ) is a river, approximately 70 mi (113 km) long, on the Pacific coast of Oregon in the United States. It drains an area of the Coastal Range west of the Willamette Valley, rising only 20 mi (32 km) from the ocean and flowing in a highly zigzag course, changing direction multiple times.
It rises in a remote area of western Polk County and flows southwest, into northern Lincoln County, to Siletz, then generally northwest towards the coast. It enters the Pacific at Siletz Bay south of Lincoln City.
