Trails in the Tillamook State Forest are managed for a range of recreation uses. Sixty-five 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 great ride on the Gales Creek Trail.
Volunteer work parties are posted on this link for the 2008 season.
Many thanks to all of the volunteers who have come out to help.
