It is about {{convert|12|mi|km}} long. Its main tributary, the North Fork Moclips River, is longer than the main stem. The length of the North Fork, along with the lower main stem below the North Fork's confluence, is {{convert|17|mi|km}}.[2] The drainage basin of the Moclips River is {{convert|22.4|sqmi|km2}} in area.[3] CourseBoth the Moclips River and its main tributary, the North Fork Moclips River, originate on the slopes of Macafee Hill. Both flow generally west. The North Fork joins the main river about {{convert|2|mi|km}} from the Pacific Ocean. The Moclips River empties into the Pacific near Moclips. HistoryAccording to Edmond S. Meany the word moclips comes from a Quinault word meaning a place where girls were sent as they were approaching puberty.[4] However, according to William Bright, the name comes from the Quinault word meaning, simply, "large stream".[5] See also
