Tillamook State Forest Road Closures
2/17/2010
Tillamook District Road Closures
Cedar Creek Road: Due to harvest activity requiring the use of overhead logging cables, the dispersed campsites adjacent to MP 2.5 on Cedar Creek Road will be closed to camping from approximately February 8 to mid March, or until yarding in Area 3 of the Mary's Butte Timber sale is completed. Drivers are urged to use caution when driving on Cedar Creek Road.
Anderson Ridge Road is blocked due to an active logging operation near the junction of East Foley Peak and Firebreak 3 roads. Due to the limited road width the road may not be open during weekends. We expect this closure to last through February.

Forest Grove District OHV Trails
Browns Camp OHV Area:
#1 Rogers Camp Road and #2 Firebreak One trails are periodically closed on weekdays due to logging activity. Click here to see PDF map of closure area

#16b Dog Leg- Will be closed periodically due to timber sale activity.
#22 Back to Back- Will be closed periodically due to timber sale activity.
#24 Bates Road- Will be closed periodically due to timber sale activity.

Tillamook District OHV Trails
Jordan Creek OHV Area:
# 37 Stick In The Nose is closed indefinitely due to timber sale activity.
#40 Duane's Trail remains closed indefinitely due to flood damage. Riders are advised to not venture down this trail as it is a dead end and very difficult to ride back up. In addition this further damages the trail as inexperienced riders dig ruts as they struggle to climb back out.
Diamond Mill OHV Area:
(# 72) Odins Ridge and Jones Creek Road (# 83) are temporarily closed due to road construction associated with the Mary’s Butte Timber Sale. The Operator is conducting right of way falling for spur roads and road re-construction needed for access to the sale. Mikes Trail (# 92) is still open to motorcycles. The lower quad width section of Mikes is closed where the ROW falling has blocked it however the remainder of Mikes Trail is open for motorcycle only traffic. To avoid confusion and loss of expensive OHV trail filter materials from road construction and ground yarding, boulders and eco-blocks have been painted SAVE or marked with an S. As the road work moves west on Jones Creek Road, Powerline 2 (# 133) will be closed as well. The closed trails may be reopened after the road work is completed. Timber falling and harvest may not occur until later this year or even later depending on market conditions.
# 82 MC Trail will be temporarily closed until the West Fork Wilson River Road is repaired.
Trask OHV Area:
Eagle Hill Trail is closed to 4WDs. The trail will remain closed until a bridge suitable for 4WD can be installed at the bottom stream crossing.
