Favorite local spot
Wonderful family owned pub and BBQ joint. Rich and Lori Olson will welcome you like family. Be sure to let them know that you are staying at the Zolezzis.
Have a cold beer or a glass of wine on one of the decks as you watch boaters, fishermen, or an eagle or osprey around the lake. This is a must visit spot and only 5 minutes from Laguna West.

Sightseeing
Rent from Darling's Resort or Siltcoos Kayak Rentals and paddle from the Westlake Boat Ramp to the Pacific and back. You need to choose a day with very little wind or the length of your trip will double! In addition, watch the tides. Once you portage the dam the river fluctuates with the tide. Low tide may just be too low to paddle all the way to the ocean.
You are guaranteed to see an eagle, heron, and or/an otter. Very easy paddle.
