- Teal Slough is near the end of the Naselle River as it discharges into the sloughy area near Willapa Bay. The slough can be divided into two parts: (1) a stream that runs through the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge, and (2) a bay that sits between the Stanley Peninsula and the Teal Slough Natural Resources Conservation Area. The headwaters can be reached from a trail near Ellen Worth Road south of the wildlife refuge, and the mouth can be accessed from a trailhead along U.S. Route 101, which crosses the stream as it widens into a bay.

- note: Teal Slough could be considered a tributary of the Naselle River, Chetlo Harbor, or Willapa Bay depending on border definitions. According to OpenStreetMap, Teal Slough connects to Chetlo Harbor at the end of the Naselle River, which in turn connects to Long Island Slough and then Willapa Bay. In this sloughy area of many connecting side channels and streams, borders are confusing.
