D River State Recreation Site
About
D River State Recreation Site is a 4-acre park in Oregon, about 0.9 miles from Lincoln City. The small site sits on city land and is managed by the state park agency, which makes it a compact stop rather than a large destination. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. July and August bring typical highs around 71 to 72°F and only about seven wet days a month, compared with more than 20 wet days in most winter months, according to averages from a nearby weather station. The D River itself, a canoeing spot, lies just 0.1 miles away. For a walk, the Agnes Creek North Trail and Agnes Creek South Trail are each about a mile off, and Schooner Creek, another paddling option, is roughly 3.3 miles away.
