View from water front deck at Chetco River Resort


Summer is finally here at the coast. We have been enjoying the sunshine at last. Interestingly, Chetco River Resort is just far enough upriver to most of the time be out of the coastal fog we get during the summer months.

We recently took at jet boat ride up the Rogue River at Gold Beach. They took great care to find wildlife for us to see: deer, osprey, otters. I thought to myself how lucky I am - I can see all of those things right in my own back yard at Chetco River Resort. We have a family of osprey that have made a nest there at the top of a tree in the harbor and come back each year to raise new chicks. In fact, their latest offspring is just learning how to fly and can be seen hopping from branch to branch testing his wings. We have a family of otters that live in the harbor. I watched one of them drag a salmon as big as he was onto the shore and start feasting. Because we are so close to the mouth of the river we are still in the tidal exchange so we get seals coming up to fish and this time of year pelicans as well. I recently took a picture of a deer outside my office window and cabin #9 isn't called Turkey Trot by chance. We get wild turkeys roaming the park as well. It truly is a fantastic and beautiful place to be.


Our August coupon is still in effect as is the stay 2, get the third night fee (Chetco only & not good for major holiday weekends). Why not see it for yourself?
