The D River is a stream in Lincoln City, Oregon, United States. The once-anonymous waterway, known as the "most brief stream in the world"[4][5][6][7] was recorded in the Guinness World Records as the world's briefest waterway at 440 feet (130 m). This title was lost in 1989 when Guinness named the Roe River in Montana as the world's most brief. Endeavoring to recover the title, the general population of Lincoln City presented another estimation to Guinness of around 120 feet (37 m) set apart at "compelling high tide".[8] Starting in 2006, the Guinness Book of World Records did not list a class for most brief stream.
The D waterway streams from Devils Lake, under U.S. Highway 101, and into the Pacific Ocean, totally inside the city furthest reaches of Lincoln City. The D River State Recreation Site off Highway 101 is home to two of the world's biggest kite celebrations in the spring and fall.[4]
This region was initially settled as the town of Delake, which was later fused with other close-by towns to shape Lincoln City in 1965. The stream had been known by a few names, including essentially "the outlet", and earned its short name in a challenge
