Diamond Mill Closure Extended

The Diamond Mill OHV Area enhancement project is still underway. Diamond Mill will remain CLOSED until the project is completed in early June. This means that Diamond Mill will be CLOSED over Memorial Day Weekend.

For OHV users looking to visit Tillamook State Forest over the holiday weekend, please consider visiting nearby Cedar Creek or Jordan Creek. Both areas have an OHV staging area, designated campsites and access to many OHV trails.

For information on camping and OHV trail opportunities in the Tillamook State Forest, please visit the TSF Blog or the ODF Website.

Tillamook State Forest Volunteers ROCK!

Successfully SOLVED!

Before: Cascade Cruisers prepare to tackle a dumpsite.
On Saturday, April 22, seventy-two volunteers braved the coastal climate to help clean-up garbage and invasive plants in the Tillamook state Forest as part of the annual SOLVE Earth Day clean-up.


At the end of the day, these fantastic folks, working with four Forestry staff members, had filled two, 20-yard dumpsters with garbage ranging from a queen sized mattress set to a sectional sofa to several pick-up loads of target shooting trash, collected 52 tires and pulled scotch broom while cleaning up storm debris at one of the campgrounds.

A huge thank-you goes out to everyone who rallied in the rain to remove the refuse.  The Tillamook State Forest is lucky to have volunteers like you!

After:  Garbage gone!  On to the next dumpsite!


Clubs and Organizations represented included:
  • Cascade Cruisers
  • Friends of Wayne Naillon
  • Gitout.com
  • Jolly Jeepers
  • Oregon Equestrian Trails (Northwest Chapter)
  • Oregon Hunters Association
