Ill be moving up to linn/Marion county sometime in August and would like to see what's going on up there. I haven't wheeled up there and don't really know much of what's around.

Not sure why but the Oregon peeps don't seem to represent as much as they used too.

Not from oregon but I could throw a rock there from here and there is great jeeping and jeepers in the upper northwest area. Not sure how close you are but if your near you gotta check out the tillamook state forest. Its Awesome! Hook up with a group on here next time you see a trip planned.

Hello Mack,

Western Oregon has a lot of forest trails and roads, here's a couple of popular links:
Oregon Department of Forestry - Tillamook State Forest OHV Trails
Sandlake Recreation Area

Welcome to the PNW.
There are JKs all over the place up here, but we seem to be spread out all over the internet. You're lucky I stumbled in this morning.

In Oregon, your JK is considered a "Class II ATV". You need an ATV permit sticker on your Jeep (about $10 for 2 years, and that money helps fund trails).

This is a great resource:
State of Oregon: Oregon Parks and Recreation Department: ATVs

Then go to this page, check the "Class II" box, and then hit search:

rideATVoregon where to ride

You'll be within half a day's drive of several good places.
Tillamook State Forest (No. 3 on the map, sometimes called "Brown's Camp") is very popular. McCoy Rec Area is in that County, but I've never been there. The Oregon Dunes, if you are into sand.

Miles and miles of forest roads to explore. When you get burned out on the green and rain, go east over the Cascade mountains and check out "the dry side" of the state.

You'll have fun.

Thanks guys. Ill look into what you posted. I'm coming from SoCal with trails around every corner. I'm afraid all I would see is logging trails and mud.
