Recreate
The Tillamook and Clatsop forests offer hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, wildlife viewing, kayaking, canoeing, horseback riding, photography, and so much more. They are beautiful places to explore no matter how you like to get outside.
Our friends at Outdoor Project are awesome in countless ways! Of course, our favorite is that they have compiled many of the adventures available on Oregon’s north coast. Lots of them are within our state forests. They have even specially highlighted the Wilson River – a really special piece of the Tillamook State Forest. Outdoor Project always encourages you to “adventure like you give a damn!“
The Sierra Club’s 50 Hikes in the Tillamook State Forest celebrates the adventurous landscapes of Northwest Oregon by revisiting the Sierra Club’s iconic 2001 guidebook.
[Note: the Port of Tillamook Bay owns extensive rail rights of way varying in width from 50 to 200 feet in the Salmonberry Corridor. This is not public land. For more information, click here.]
