The shipping channel in the bay in front of you has a depth of about 35 feet at low tide. Large ships travel in this channel on their way to the upper bay.


Frequently small harbor tugs can be seen pulling log rafts by this pavilion. The logs are loaded onto ships for transport.


The Coos Bay waterfront has been changing for many years. It looks very different now than it did in 1850 and in 1950. It will continue to change, influenced by people and the surrounding environment.
