It flows generally WSW, long the border between Lincoln and Tillamook counties, through the Van Duzer State Forest and the Siuslaw National Forest. It enters the Pacific approximately 4 mi (6.4 km) north of Lincoln City on the Tillamook-Lincoln county line.The river valley provides the route of Oregon Route 18 to the coast, which crosses from the valley of the South Yamhill River to the east.

Oregon officials offer payment of up to $8 per fish for anglers catching the northern pikeminnow, a rather homely nuisance fish that's threatening salmon populations in the Columbia River.
