The Carmel River

 

The Carmel River drains about 260 square miles while flowing NW out of the valley between the Santa Lucia Mountains in the South & the Sierra del Salinas to the North & East. The river ends at the Carmel Lagoon & flows into the Pacific Ocean in the city of Carmel, CA. The river is 36 miles long.  Click on image for an assessment of the river by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District.
