Default Tillamook trail closures

Due to an increase in Fire Danger and the Industrial Fire Precaution Level being raised to an IFPL 3 – the OHV trails in the Tillamook State Forest (Browns Camp, Jordan Creek, Diamond Mill, and Trask) and the OHV trails in the BLM Nestucca Riding Area are CLOSED effective at 1:00 AM Tuesday, July 28th and will remain closed until further notice. In the Browns Camp, Jordan Creek, Diamond Mill, Trask and BLM Nestucca Riding areas the gravel roads remain open for OHV use.



We will let you know as soon as the trail closure is lifted.



Please help us spread the word in the OHV community and, as always, feel free to call if you have any questions.



Thanks for your help!

Thank you, good to know. In light of this closure, I'm looking for suggestions for trails around Portland area for this weekend, maybe in Washougal or Vernonia areas? Any ideas? Thanks.

Their are some trails out towards Estacada on Hwy 224 near squaw mountain. Nothing hard core but there are some nice trails out there. Beyond that there a plenty of trails around Mt. Hood, the Barlow Pass trails are nice but again all are easy trails if you are driving a Jeep.

Hey NWBronco, you know of any WA ORV parK closures?

I was planning a trip up to Naches this weekend with a few other Jeeps.

WADNR does not send it out like ODF, it's easy to find though...
