The Port of Siuslaw reminds visitors to exercise caution around debris left from the recent storm. The banks and beaches of the Siuslaw River and the ocean are covered with logs and debris. These debris piles are unstable. For your safety, please avoid walking on or near the debris. River banks may also have eroded and been undercut by high water and flooding. Please stay back from the bank edge near the river.

The City of Florence adopted new animal control regulations in 2011. People are not permitted to allow dogs to run off leash anywhere in the City except on their own property. All dogs on Port of Siuslaw property must be on a leash. Leash law violation fines from the City start at $50 and escalate up to $750 (City of Florence Ordinance 683).
The Port of Siuslaw provides pet waste bag stations located in several places on the boardwalk and east towards the Campground. Leaving your pet’s waste on property other than your own is also a violation according to the new City of Florence code.
Please help us keep Old Town clean and safe–use a leash and clean up after your pet!

The new F Dock floats are concrete and have water available. Please stop by and check out the completed F Dock and congratulate Port Staff on a job well done.
