Everything about The D River totally explained
The
D River is a river in
Lincoln City,
Oregon,
United States. Proclaimed the "shortest river in the world" by the
State of Oregon, it was listed in the
Guinness World Records as the world's shortest river at 440 feet (134 meters). This title was lost in 1989 when Guinness named the
Roe River in
Montana as the world's shortest. Attempting to reclaim the title, the people of Lincoln City submitted a new measurement to Guinness of about 120 feet (36 m) marked at "extreme high tide". Starting in 2006, the
Guinness Book of World Records didn't list a category for shortest river.
The river flows from
Devils Lake, under
U.S. Route 101, and into the
Pacific Ocean, entirely within the city limits of
Lincoln City. The D River State Recreation site off Highway 101 is home to two of the world’s largest kite festivals in the spring and fall as part of the
Portland Rose Festival.
This area was originally settled as the town of Delake, which was later incorporated with other nearby towns to form Lincoln City in 1965. The river had been known by several names, including simply "the outlet", and earned its short name in a contest.
