Skipanon River

Skipanon River

The Skipanon River is a tributary of the Columbia River, approximately 7 mi (11 km) long, on the Pacific coast of northwest Oregon in the United States. It is the lowest tributary of the Columbia on the Oregon side, draining an area of coastal bottom land bordered by sand dunes and entering the river from the south at its mouth on the Pacific west of Astoria.

It issues from Cullaby Lake in eastern Clatsop County, northeast of Seaside and less than 3 mi (5 km) from the ocean. It flows north parallel to the coast and east of U.S. Route 101. It enters the northwest end of Youngs Bay at the mouth of the Columbia approximately 1 mi (1.6 km) northeast of Warrenton. The mouth of the river is at mile 10.7 (km 18) on the Columbia upstream from its mouth.
