The Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area is 1,040 acres of pasture, woodlands and wetlands. It is managed for the elk that call the area home, about 100 of which make it their year round home.
If you happen to be there in the early morning and evening, you will probably see the elk, they are free to roam the area. The elk breeding season is from September to October.
The bottomland has been expanded into a habitat for waterfowl, many of which are close to the viewing areas.
The Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area is located four miles east of Reedsport on Hwy 38. You can see a map of the area here. The viewing area is not displayed in the map contents.
