Description

Garrison Lake is a freshwater lake in Port Orford and next to the roaring Pacific. A mere “spit” of sand dune (foredune) separates the two. During severe storms, the sea water sometimes breaches the foredune, increasing the salt content of the lake. On several occasions during the last few decades, enough of the foredune was destroyed that the lake drained. More recently, the lakes outflow to the sea was rerouted and a control system was put in place to keep the lake from draining and maintain a more constant level. Still, some believe that the lake is destined to eventually become a salt marsh, and perhaps even ultimately be filled in with beach sand.
