Tenmile Creek is the outlet for a chain of lakes ending at Tenmile Lake near Lakeside in Coos County in the U.S. state of Oregon. The creek flows generally west for about 3 miles (5 km) from the lake to the Pacific Ocean.[3] The stream's name stems from its approximate distance from Winchester Bay, the earliest pioneer village along this part of the coast.[4]
