River dominated: Some, like the Columbia River and Rogue River, are dominated by the freshwater flow of the river and have relatively small tideland areas.
Blind: Some of the smaller estuaries, like Elk River and Sixes River in Curry County, are "blind" estuaries where low river flow in summer results in a sand bar completely closing off the mouth of the estuary.
