Given a reference text about the Salt River, tell me how long the river is and where it starts and finishes.

Context: The Salt River is a formerly navigable hanging channel of the Eel River which flowed about 9 miles from near Fortuna and Waddington, California, to the estuary at the Pacific Ocean, until siltation from logging and agricultural practices essentially closed the channel. It was historically an important navigation route until the early 20th century. It now intercepts and drains tributaries from the Wildcat Hills along the south side of the Eel River floodplain. Efforts to restore the river began in 1987, permits and construction began in 2012, and water first flowed in the restored channel in October 2013.

Answer: The Salt River is about 9 miles long and starts near Fortuna and Waddington California and flows into the Pacific Ocean.
