Up and down the Chetco

The Chetco River does not flow west into the Pacific Ocean at Brookings. It flows just about exactly south. There's a kink in the coastline here, and Highway 101 actually goes east-west through downtown and then somewhat more south as it heads towards California. The Chetco takes a jog east where At Rivers Edge RV Resort is located on the south bank. A little farther is Salmon Run golf course. Loeb State Park with its oldgrowth groves of redwoods and myrtle trees is several miles farther upstream.
