The Kilchis River is a stream, about 14 miles long, near the coast of northwest Oregon in the United States. It drains a mountainous timbered region of about 65 square miles in the Northern Oregon Coast Range west of Portland.The Kilchis River begins at the confluence of its North Fork and South Fork in northern Tillamook County in the Tillamook State Forest northeast of Bay City. It flows southwest, entering the southeast end of Tillamook Bay approximately 4 miles northwest of the city of Tillamook. The mouth of the river is about 1 mile north of the mouth of the Wilson River and about 2 miles north of the mouth of the Trask River. It is one of five rivers—the Tillamook, the Trask, the Wilson, the Kilchis, and the Miami—that flow into the bay.The river has good runs of steelhead and fall Chinook salmon. Because much of the land along the lower stretches is private, fishing is often done by drift boat launched from boat ramps at Kilchis County Park, County Park, and Mapes Creek. Anglers may also fish from stream banks on public land in the Tillamook State Forest.
