Coquille is located near the southern Oregon coast just 17 miles south of Coos Bay on State Highway 42. With an average rainfall of 60 inches per year, we enjoy a moderate climate with temperatures reaching upwards of 80 degrees during the summer months. Extreme high, or low temperatures are rare here. We are located close enough to the coast to enjoy mild coastal weather, and far enough away not to suffer the brunt of pacific storms. Coquille's elevation is a mere 40 feet above sea level.
Recreation abounds in our area of Oregon with numerous camping, fishing, and hunting opportunities.
The Coquille River, on whose banks the city was founded, is one of the foremost steelhead fisheries in the world. In addition to steelhead fishing, Chinook and Coho salmon abound during the fall run which takes place starting about mid July. In addition to salmon and steelhead, there are several different types of fresh water sport fisheries, including bass, and salt water fish too numerous to mention. The Coquille Valley is a veritable paradise for wildlife. Founded in the early 1850's and incorporated in 1885, Coquille is the geographical center and county seat of Coos County.
