A network of interpretive sites, media and opportunities provides an engaging way for you to "discover the Tillamook." A regular schedule of forest interpretive programs are available during the summer for visitors who may want to learn more of the natural and cultural history of the forest and how the Tillamook is actively managed today. Check back here for more information in Spring, 2006 Do you have a group that enjoys the outdoors and would like to learn more about the Tillamook State Forest?

Gales Creek Overlook

The Gales Creek Overlook invites you to stop and gaze over the revitalized forest - the eastern entry to the Tillamook Forest on the Wilson River Highway (Highway 6). This site features an expansive view of a relatively young Douglas-fir forest, planted in the 1940?s after the fires scorched nearly the entire original forest. A few remnant forest giants still stand in view along the distant ridges, reminding us of what the forest was like before that fateful day in 1933. A cedar-constructed kiosk with adjacent stone walls complements the view here, while presenting orientation information and an overview of forest history and management.

Sunset Highway Rest Area Display

The Sunset Safety Rest Area -djacent to the Clatsop State Forest on Highway 26, offers a display on the history of the forests and the adjacent one-third-mile Steam Donkey Interpretive Trail. The short interpretive trail loop provides an interesting history of railroad and steam logging and a refreshing pause when traveling the Sunset Highway from the Portland area to the coast.
