So, we did scope it out on our way back from the coast today and I snapped some pictures that kind of tell the story. Combat Chuck had it right^^. This is right at the bridge on the south side at Tidewater. There used to be some kind of private campsites there. There is no signage at the road but a few orange cones mark the entrance.
There is no ramp yet but you could drag a kayak to the water easily. There is an old derelict dock with a no trespassing sign and remnants of the old campsites with wires and pipes sticking out of the ground. They have mowed the grass and sprayed Roundup over the parking areas and that is about it. The funky toilet was pretty clean and had paper. I hope that the county will have the resources to develop this site with ramp and parking etc.
I'll throw in observations of the fishing scene on the Alsea. I saw a grand total of two boats fishing tidewater from the road. Almost every hole along the road up to Five Rivers had cars parked. The water is real low. We stopped at The Ermie Walter ramp to look around and there were the usual old coho rolling in there. The maple leaves are very lovely right now.
OK. There you have it.
