Siletz Bay
The Siletz Bay is a bay on the Pacific coast of Oregon , where the place of the same name is located. The Siletz River flows into the bay .
In 1991 the Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge was established here , which primarily served to protect or restore the local salt marshes. It forms part of the much larger Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex , which is largely closed to public access.
The name goes back to the Siletz , an Indian tribe that belonged to the coastal Salish group , and of which he was the southernmost representative.
