Interested in ORV related activities and information in the Tillamook State Forest?? This is the place! Tillamook State Forest ORV Areas
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. 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.
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.
Off-highway motorcycle riding has occurred for many years in the Tillamook State Forest. An extensive network of trails varying from old forest roads to narrow technical trails, provide opportunities for beginner and expert riders. Off-highway motorcycle riding is an exciting and fun sport that entails a certain level of risk. The Oregon Department of Forestry strongly encourages all riders to wear proper protective riding gear including boots, chest protector, goggles, gloves and elbow and knee pads. Check the trail guide and trail signs for special designations. As a motorcycle rider you need the following:

The Oregon
ATV Fund Grant program allocates money obtained from the purchase
of ATV Stickers for maintenance and development of OHV opportunities
throughout Oregon. On the Tillamook State Forest, ATV
Funds have been used for the development of the trail map, purchase
and installation of trail signs, trailbridge construction, law enforcement,
and the improvements at Browns Camp. In the coming years,
ATV funds will be used on the Tillamook State Forest to improve existing
trails, develop new trails, make improvements to campgrounds and staging
areas, and to develop trail maps for other OHV areas on the Forest.
Forest operations may temporarily close roads and trails. Use caution near logging and road building activities. Do not ride through active logging sites or where heavy equipment is operating. The Oregon Department of Forestry and local OHV clubs are working on improving the trail system. This involves trail maintenance, new trail construction and bridge construction. This may result in temporary trail closures. To allow work to progress without interruption and to prevent further damage to the trail, please respect these temporary closures. Additional winter season restrictions may be imposed on certain trails to reduce erosion and trail damage to trails during the wet winter months. Riding on road cut banks causes erosion, filling drainage ditches with mud. This damages roads, impacts water quality, and creates a negative image of OHV riders and is illegal. Check with
the Oregon Department of Forestry if you have questions about a specific
riding area or trail.
Noise Annoys Excessive
noise annoys others and creates a negative image of OHV use. The maximum
noise level forOHV's is 99 decibels. Mufflers can lose
their effectiveness with time and may require repair or replacement.
To help improve the image of OHV recreation and to protect your riding
privilege, make sure your muffler is properly maintained and that
your vehicle is not exceeding the maximum decibel level allowed.
