 **Water Character**
-This is a river valley, so the winds are generally reduced by the hills. But, the water is open enough to be challenging for small boats, especially when a winter storm is around. The flow is modified by recent rain, sometimes in a major way, but normally the controlling feature is tidal action. Tide predictions are available for Toledo and they will give a general indication of this area with a delay of around an hour.
+The river is open down stream from Elk City, and is a wonderful place to explore.  Both the Yaquina River and Big Elk Creek can be accessed going upstream by small boats.  The distance varies from year-to-year, limited either by trees across the water or by shallows.
