Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge stretches along both sides of Highway 101 just south of Lincoln City. Red tailed hawks, bald eagles, and other raptors can often be seen here, in addition to great blue heron, great egret, and many species of waterfowl. The refuge also provides nursery grounds for coho and chinook salmon, steelhead, and cutthroat trout. The refuge is currently closed to the public, but visitor opportunities are being developed, and the refuge can be seen from the highway.
