Sitka Sedge State Natural Area, Natural area in Tillamook County, US
The Sitka Sedge State Natural Area spans 365 acres of diverse landscapes, including tidal flats, saltwater marshes, forested wetlands, and stretching beach views.
In 2014, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department acquired the Beltz property for 1.8 million dollars using lottery funds and a National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant.
The territory holds significance as part of the traditional lands of the Nestucca group of Tillamook Indians and was included in the Siletz Reservation from 1855 to 1875.
The natural area features 3.5 miles of looping trails, including the ADA-accessible Beltz Dike Trail, with restroom facilities and information kiosks at the trailhead.
Three distinct creeks flow into the southern portion of the natural area, contributing to its rich ecosystem of tidal marshes, sand, mudflats, and estuarine zones.
