Trask OHV Area

Friday, April 5, 2024

Other Names

Tillamook State Forest, Trask River Road, Edwards Creek, Joyce Creek, Tahoe Lake, Hollywood OHV Staging Area

Last Known StatusOpen

This area offers a few small play areas and a couple of gravel pits, but consists mainly of logging roads with some steep unmarked side trails. The novice terrain in the area would be the forest roads themselves.

With just a handful of camping areas (near the fish hatchery), the creek remains largely undisturbed, and the water is clear, but fairly low in the summer. This is a real remote area and can be described as somewhat untamed.

With hardly any sunlight and dense vegetation, the trails can seem spooky at times.
