KAYAKING MAY BE THE IDEAL WAY TO EXPLORE TILLAMOOK COUNTY “In a kayak, you sit low in the water, so you feel more a part of the environment,” said Marc Hinz, founder of Kayak Tillamook County, the area’s only kayak guide service.

“Because you are so low in the water, you don’t scare off the wildlife as easily.”

K A Y A K

A popular tour is the rarely explored backwaters of the North Fork, on the upper Nehalem River in north county. “There is a very extensive system of old-growth Sitkas up there and a network of forested sloughs,” Hinz said. Bald eagles are often sighted and, sometimes, beavers. Or in Hoquarton Slough, paddlers can pass through the se-

cluded old-growth Sitka spruce forest swamp that flows through downtown Tillamook.

Other tours, available for all skill levels, include the Tillamook River, Pacific City, Cape Meares Lake and Netarts Bay. For information about Kayak Tillamook, call (503) 8664808, or visit www.kayaktillamook.com.

R ENJOY THE GREAT D OUTDOORS E OSWALD WEST STATE PARK

TILLAMOOK COUNTY PARKS

NEHALEM BAY STATE PARK

In 2008, Forbes Magazine named Oswald West State Park one of the World’s 10 Most Secluded Beaches. It’s no wonder.

The Tillamook County Parks Department operates six parks and campgrounds totaling 488 campsites. The county also has a system of 21 boat launches. Parks department staff members are headquartered at Barview Jetty County Park, located 1.5 miles north of Garibaldi on US Highway 101. The 160acre oceanfront park is adjacent to the north side of the Barview Jetty.

Nehalem Bay State Park – located three miles south of Manzanita off US Highway 101 – is the only state park in Oregon with its own airstrip and associated fly-in campground.

Located north of Manzanita, Oswald West State Park provides access to the beach, the Cape Falcon Overlook and the Oregon Coast Trail.

Make sure to take in the view from the top of the Cape Falcon Overlook.

Parking areas are located just a quartermile from the beach. All of the trails to the beach are through a mature forest; one trail follows the winding path of the Short Sands creek.

At the end of the trails you’ll find Short Sands beach, nestled in a cove surrounded by mountains and giving the feeling of total privacy. But you might not be completely alone – the beach is popular with surfboarders and boogie boarders.

Vital stats: Park is open year-round, but the campground is currently closed. Call (800) 5516949 for information.

The Barview campground offers excellent surf, jetty and scuba opportunities. It has a sand dune play area and beach access.

Reservations are available for any of the following county campground locations: • • • • • •

Whalen Island Park: (503) 965-6085 Barview Jetty Park: (503) 322-3522 Kilchis River Park: (503) 842-6694 Trask River Park: (503) 842-4559 Woods Park: (503) 965-5001 Webb Park: (503) 965-5001

For general county park information, call (503) 965-5001 or go to visit www.co.tillamook.or.us/ gov/parks.

A 1.75- mile bike trail circles the landing strip and offers a breathtaking view of the bay. Along this route and in the campground itself, you’re likely to see deer, a herd of elk, or a coyote crossing the road.

There’s a horse camp for those bringing their own horses. Crabbing and fishing are also popular on Nehalem Bay. Vital stats: Fly-in camp (primitive sites) adjacent to airstrip. $5 daily day-use fee, or 12-month permit for $30 or 24-month permit for $50.

Services: 259 electrical sites (maximum site 60 feet); 18 yurts for overnight stays; horse camp (17 sites with corrals); hiker/biker camp; fly-in camp adjacent to airstrip.

For information only, call (503) 368-5154 or (800) 551-6949 or visit www.oregonstateparks. org. To make reservations, call (800) 452-5687.

WALK OUR BLOCKS What began as a modest seed has blossomed into a full-fledged, colorful quilt garden.

Street Public Market in downtown Tillamook to receive a prize for discovering the mystery block.

Downtown Tillamook now boasts more than 30 vibrant quilt block patterns affixed to the outside walls of businesses, churches and service centers.

Each pattern is part of a walking trail called “Walk Our Blocks: Preserving and Promoting Our Coastal Heritage,” coordinated by the Tillamook County Quilt Trail Coalition.

Maps can be picked up at the Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce, located in the parking lot of the Tillamook Cheese Factory.

The map also includes the Tillamook County Quilt Trail, which utilizes 16 8-foot by 8-foot barns and buildings of character in a self-guided driving tour of the area’s pastoral agriculture scenery.

Armed with a map, visitors walk the city’s streets locating each quilt block pattern and searching for a mystery pattern not located on the map. Once their map is completed, searchers visit the 2nd

This trail begins and ends at the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center, where participants can purchase quilt trail souvenirs.

BOASTING FOUR BAYS, SEVEN RIVERS AND A HOST OF LAKES Tillamook County is a dream come true for boaters, fishers, crabbers and clammers

Be sure check the seasonal limits on clams. For information about current shellfish closures, go to the Oregon Department of Agriculture Web site at www.oregon.gov/ODA/FSD/shellfish_status.shtml.

Boat launching is available at marinas and boat rental facilities on the Nehalem and Netarts bays, on the Nehalem River and at Nehalem Bay State Park. The launching fees vary.

Don’t forget your angling or shellfish license. Most boat rental and sporting goods outlets can provide them.

TILLAMOOK BAY Tillamook Bay, located in central county, is the largest bay in the county. It offers a full range of fishing, clamming and crabbing. Plus, there are a variety of businesses to help you catch and enjoy the bounty of the ocean.

The bay is a large estuary fed by the Miami, Kilchis, Wilson, Trask and Tillamook rivers.

It hosts a historical fall chinook fishery, but is fished throughout the year for sturgeon, spring chinook, steelhead and other fish species. It’s also popular among crabbers.

It includes the PORT OF GARIBALDI. Tide changes produce a strong current near the “jaws” of the port’s jetties, so the bar can become extremely rough on short notice.

Heed US Coast Guard warnings and listen to weather reports.

When fishing near the tip of the south jetty, avoid getting close to shore or too near the jetty. The end is submerged and creates breakers that easily swamp boats. Inland, large areas of the bay become very shallow or exposed at low tide. Avoid being caught on them, or you’ll have to wait for the next incoming tide. And this is a working port: watch for commercial fishing boats.

GARIBALDI MARINA 302 Mooring Basin Road in the Port of Garibaldi, rents boats, crab rings, clam shovels and rakes. Boats are rented on incoming tides, depending upon weather conditions. Garibaldi Marina also offers crab cooking and a fish-cleaning table.

The marina has moorage for visiting boat own-

FISH, CRAB AND CLAM

ers, too. For more info, call (503) 322-3312, or visit garibaldimarina.com.

NETARTS BAY A little further southwest, Netarts Bay offers excellent sports fishing, clamming and crabbing.

The bay is shallow, with numerous sandbars that are exposed at low tide. Very few boats cross the bar – and they do so only when the most favorable conditions exist.

NETARTS BAY RV PARK AND MARINA rents boats, motors and crab rings, and sells a broad range of equipment and supplies for the sportsman. Meeting and banquet rooms also available. For more information, e-mail info@ netartsbay.com, go to www.netarts bay.com, or call (503) 842-7774. Reservations recommended.

BIG SPRUCE RV PARK AND BOAT RENTAL, 4850 Netarts Highway West, rents boats, crab rings and clamming gear. For information or reservations, call (503) 842-7443 or (877) 651-9342.

NEHALEM BAY At the north end of Tillamook County, Nehalem Bay attracts crabbers and anglers seeking fall chinook salmon. Perch, sturgeon and trout also are available to sports fishermen. Although the bay features ocean access, its bar can be extremely dangerous.

JETTY FISHERY is located off US Hwy. 101 between Rockaway Beach and Wheeler, directly across from Nehalem Spit. Boat rental customers are permitted to beach their boats on the Ne-

halem Bay State Park spit for picnics and wildlife viewing. Crabbing is available off the dock. Call (503) 368-5746 or visit jettyfishery.com.

BRIGHTON MARINA & RV PARK rents boats and crabbing and fishing accessories. Its location near the mouth of Nehalem Bay affords great salmon fishing in season. The RV park on the waterfront offers wifi, picnic tables and fire pits.

Big rigs are welcome. A convenience store has food, clothing, fishing and crabbing bait, and an assortment of tackle. For more info, visit kellysbrightonmarina.com, or call (503) 368-5745.

WHEELER MARINA 278 Marine Drive in downtown Wheeler, rents kayaks and motorized boats, and has kayaks and canoes for sale. The marina also has bait and tackle, crab cooking services and overnight or weekly moorage.

Wheeler Marina operates all year. Hours from May 1 through mid-November are 6:30 a.m. to dusk seven days a week. For more info, visit wheelermarina.net, or call (503) 368-5780.

NESTUCCA BAY At the south end of the county, Nestucca Bay is less popular for tourists because of its continual shoaling and shifting of sandbars. However, the Nestucca River – one of the larger rivers on the Oregon coast – provides year-round salmon and steelhead fisheries.

Much of the river is accessible by drift boat. Certain sections are good for novice operators, but others require more skill and may be impassible at low flows. Winter storms can drop debris into the river, so check with local bait shops for upto-date information before launching.

Netarts Bay and Tillamook Bay both offer excellent clamming.

Principal species found include quahog, littleneck, cockle, and gaper. Geoducks and mussels may be found in Netarts Bay. (Note: There are some posted shellfish preserves in Netarts Bay where clams may not be taken.)

ENJOY THE VIEW CAPE MEARES LIGHTHOUSE is one of nearly a dozen beacons that dot the Oregon coast. It is located at Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint, 10 miles west of Tillamook at the north end of the Three Capes Scenic Loop.

The facility, perched on a 200-foot-tall headland, features the lighthouse, picnic areas, restrooms and nature trails. Visitors can scan offshore rocks for the annual whale migration or take in the nearby Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge.

WHEN YOU GO WHERE: 10 miles west of Tillamook, on the north end of the Three Capes Scenic Route HOURS: Lighthouse is open daily, May through October, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m..

TREES YOU MUST SEE The Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint also offers access to two of Oregon’s most notable trees: • The candelabrashaped Octopus Tree is a large Sitka spruce several hundred feet south of the parking lot along a wheelchairaccessible trail.

Tradition among local Native Americans suggests the tree once was used for burials. The Killamook Indians’ custom was to shape the limbs of certain trees, forcing them to grow horizontally, in order to eventually hold canoes containing the dead.

• Oregon’s largest Sitka spruce grows adjacent to the park, along a short trail off the main road. Located on land owned and managed by the U.S. Forest Service, the tree is 144 feet tall, with a circumference of 48 feet and an average crown spread of 93 feet.

According to the Oregon Big Tree Registry, it is the largest of its species, as well as the third-largest tree overall in the state.

An interpretive gift shop is located in what once was the workroom of the lighthouse. It features items related to lighthouses, the sea, wildlife and wildflowers. Donations and proceeds from the shop inside the lighthouse are used to enhance the park.

Sadly, in January 2010, vandals damaged the lighthouse’s historic lens, which is no longer available for viewing.

The Cape Meares Lighthouse was commissioned Jan. 1, 1890 and decommissioned in 1963. The tower stands 38 feet high, making it the shortest lighthouse in Oregon.

2012 Large Brewpub of the Year Spectacular oceanfront dining with award-winning brews.

Riders at all levels of experience will find challenges on the sand dunes north of Sandlake Estuary in south Tillamook County.

Sand Lake Recreation Area is 1,076 acres of open sand dunes surrounded by forests and adjacent to the Pacific Ocean.

The area is 6 miles north of Pacific City, between the Sand Lake Estuary on the south and Cape Lookout on the north. The staging area is popular with off-highway vehicle enthusiasts.

The dunes at Sand Lake are an example of an extensive parabola system. Parabola dunes are roughly U-shaped. They are developed from breaks, or “blowout,” occurring when wind attacks an unstable vegetated point at the edge of a coastal forest.

The dunes and deflation plain are actively moving in a northeasterly direction. Vegetation consisting primarily of European beach grass and shore pine is constantly changing.

SOUTH TILLAMOOK COUNTY

LAUNCH FROM SHORE THE PACIFIC CITY DORY FLEET

The Dory Days Festival parade.

2 FEET OF MOUTH WATERING PEPPERONI

For decades, Pacific City has been home to one of the few dory fleets left on the West Coast.

Dories are small, flat-bottomed boats capable of launching from and landing on the shore. They are noted for being fast, easy to handle and able to carry a lot of weight. Some are powered by inboard motors; others rely solely on oars.

ONLY $

Dories have been traced as far back in history as 300 A.D., when they were used as surf boats on the Arabian Sea. The Portuguese and Europeans used them for fishing as far away as Iceland and Newfoundland until the start of the 16th century.

1

Dories came into prominent use in Pacific City in the 1930s, after a state law was passed closing Nestucca Bay and its tributaries to commercial fishing. Using dories, commercial fishermen were able to launch directly into the surf off the beach near Haystack Rock, instead.

By 1976, there were some 450 dories in the fleet. Today, the fleet numbers about 300.

In 1959, Pacific City celebrated its first annual Dory Days Festival, an event that drew upwards of 10,000 visitors during its prime. The festival is still a key south Tillamook County event each year and features dory boat races, a parade, a fish fry and bazaar. The 53nd Annual Dory Days will be held July 20-22, 2012.
