Woahink Lake
〕
}}
Woahink Lake (hō’ hingk) extends further below sea level than any other lake dammed by sand dunes along the coast of the U.S. state of Oregon.〔 The lake fills a depression in the Siltcoos River watershed about from the Pacific Ocean south of Florence along U.S. Route 101. The lowest point of the lake, which is up to deep, is about below sea level. The lake drains south to Siltcoos Lake via Woahink Creek.〔 The lake's name may derive from the Siuslaw language.〔
==Geology==
Like Siltcoos Lake, Woahink Lake is a submerged remnant of a Siltcoos River delta that existed before the most recent ice age. The lake formed after melting glaciers caused a rise in sea level that drowned the lower reaches of Oregon's coastal rivers. Sediments from the sluggish rivers formed sand dunes, behind which the ancestral mouths of rivers like the Siltcoos became lakes. Unlike Siltcoos Lake, which is very shallow, Woahink Lake fills a narrow steep-walled depression along what was probably a tributary of the ancestral river.〔
