Off-Highway Vehicles
The Tillamook State Forest, located in the Coast Range mountains of northwest Oregon, offers some of the best Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) trails in the Pacific Northwest.
There are four primary OHV riding areas available on the forest: including Browns Camp, Jordan Creek, Trask and Diamond Mill.
The wide variety of trails access some of the more remote and scenic parts of the forest and provide challenge and excitement for both beginners and experts.
The Browns Camp and Jordan Creek OHV areas in particular provide more than 100 miles of easy to most difficult motorcycle, ATV and 4WD trail opportunities.
Non-Motorized Trails in the Tillamook State Forest are managed for a range of recreation uses.
Over 50 miles of non-motorized trails provide options for the hiker, mountain biker and horseback rider. Climb to the top of King’s Mountain for a remarkable view. Set out with your horse to explore part of the original Wilson River Wagon Road. Hop on your mountain bike for a hair-raising ride down Gales Creek Trail.
Hunting and Fishing opportunities abound on the rivers and hillsides of the Tillamook State Forest. Check with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for regulation information, stop in for a map and then head out to the great outdoors of the Tillamook in pursuit of your favorite fish or game animal.
Beginning in the early 1950s with replanting of the Tillamook Burn, volunteers have worked closely with the Oregon Department of Forestry to enhance the forest. Today, a new generation of volunteers is enhancing recreational opportunities in the forest.
