Youngs Bay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The scenic Youngs Bay, or Youngs River Bay, is located in the Northwestern corner of Oregon. The Youngs River meets the Columbia River at this point, which is situated between Astoria and Warrenton, Oregon. There are two bridges that cross the bay, with the most busy being a counter-weight drawbridge which spans approximately 1 1/2 miles and is a two-lane part of state highway 30 running east to west. They bay is fished extensively for sturgeon and salmon, when in season. Most of the gill-netting community moors and fish in Youngs Bay. The bay can be seen rising and falling significantly with he tides created where the bay meets the Columbia River, which meets the Pacific Ocean several miles to the west.
