Search Visit Oregon

Devils Lake, deep only in terms of Indian folklore, is 1/3 mile wide, 3 miles long, and reaches a depth of only 22 feet. It separates the northern part of Lincoln City from the Coast Range Mountains. Nine species of freshwater fish beckon the fisherman, while water sports such as windsurfing, waterskiing, knee-boarding and jet skiing engage other sports enthusiasts. Flowing from Devils Lake is the D River, which holds the title of the "World's Shortest River". From its source at Devils Lake, the river reaches its destination of the Pacific in a mere 120 feet.
