W. B. Nelson State Recreation Site, Public recreation site in Waldport, Oregon, United States
The W. B. Nelson State Recreation Site features a freshwater lake with a fishing dock, surrounded by wetlands along the Alsea River.
The recreational area became part of Oregon's state park system in 1959 through a donation from W. B. Nelson to preserve natural spaces.
The park serves as a gathering place for local fishing enthusiasts who share knowledge about bass and trout fishing techniques throughout the seasons.
The recreation site maintains facilities for day use activities, including designated picnic areas and accessible paths for visitors of all abilities.
The lake and surrounding wetlands create a natural observatory for waterfowl, supporting numerous species throughout their migration patterns.
