The East Fork Coquille River is a tributary, about 34 miles (55 km) long, of the North Fork Coquille River in the U.S. state of Oregon. It begins near Bennett Rock in Douglas County in the Southern Oregon Coast Range.[4]
The East Fork flows generally west through the Brewster Valley near the rural community of Sitkum to the vicinity of Dora in Coos County. Downstream of Dora, the river turns southwest to meet the North Fork at Gravelford. The mouth of the East Fork is about 10 miles (16 km) from the North Fork's confluence with the South Fork Coquille River near Myrtle Point and 46 miles (74 km) river miles from the Coquille River mouth on the Pacific Ocean at Bandon.[4]
The land in the watershed is used mainly for timber production and farming; commercial forests dominate in much of the region.[3]
