Situated at the mouth of the Winchuck is a seldom visited state recreation site. Fishing, exploring, clamming, strolling, photographing seascapes and marine life observation are just some of the free activities available to visitors who happen upon this site. After watching act one of the spectacle nature offers where fresh water meets saltwater, you can take in act two up river.

Where the River Meets the Trees

Whether you are seeking ocean vistas or forest murmurs, visit the up river and oceanside banks of the Winchuck River. They are front row seats at a multiple act entertainment that will delight your senses and enrich your visit to Brookings.

Getting There
