GARIBALDI MARITIME MUSEUM Experience the world of 18th-century sailing in three dimensions at the Garibaldi Maritime Museum. Dedicated to preserving the Pacific Northwest’s maritime heritage, the museum, located on Highway 101 in Garibaldi, focuses on Captain Robert Gray, whose sloop Lady Washington landed there in 1788. The stop was part of Gray’s historic voyage around the world from Boston, whose merchants had commissioned him to procure furs from the Indians and trade them for tea and silk in China.

A statue of Gray, complete with eyepatch and spyglass, stands at the edge of the museum’s parking lot, facing Tillamook Bay. Inside the museum, visitors will find a replica of the Lady Washington, plus navigation instruments, photographs and artifacts.

Other Gray memorabilia include an 8-foottall reproduction of the figurehead from the Columbia, Gray’s other ship, a half-model of the Columbia showing how the ship was provisioned for a long voyage, and reproductions of seafarers’ clothing and musical instruments.

The museum offers a compendium of maritime fact and lore, including why seafaring vessels measure their speed in “knots.”

In 2009, the museum added a 12-foot jolly boat replica, as well as a boatwright shop, and in 2010, an entire section on the history of Garibaldi and its port. (The port district was organized in 1910.) The town’s seafood heritage, lumber mills and Coast Guard presence are showcased as well.

GETTING THERE: The Garibaldi Museum is at 112 Garibaldi Ave. (Hwy. 101), just east of the downtown area.

Phone 503-322-8411; E-mail info@ garibaldimuseum.com Website: www.garibaldimuseum.com Hours 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., Thursday through Monday, April through November. $3 for adults, $2.50 for seniors and children 5-18. Children under 5 get in free.

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.

“And because you’re so low in the water, you don’t scare off the wildlife as easily. The animals think you’re supposed to be there, so you can get a lot closer to them.” Another attraction is the ease with which the small, narrow boats can move through the water.

When the tides are just right, Hall Slough

can be accessed from Memaloose Point boat launch. Paddlers can get a taste of Tillamook Bay before heading into a network of narrow salt marsh channels leading to the lightly forested Hall Slough. On this waterway, paddlers will experience the interplay of tidal and fresh water systems while enjoying the dramatic backdrop of the bay, a salt marsh delta and not so distant forested coastal mountain range. Harbor seals and sea birds are often seen in this section of Tillamook Bay along with theatrical river otters.

Hoquarton Slough is another popular tour with Kayak Tillamook’s customers.

Directed by a guide, groups paddle through the secluded old-growth sitka spruce forest swamp in (surprise!) downtown Tillamook.

Other tours, available for all skill levels, in-

clude the Tillamook River, Pacific City, Cape Meares Lake and Netarts Bay. Netarts Bay, popular for clamming and crabbing, hosts populations of harbor seals and marine birds.

Kayaking, which first came to Tillamook County in the 1990s, has become more popular as people seek new ways to enjoy the outdoors. Kayak Tillamook is a cooperative of five guides – former loggers, fishermen, and educators – that coalesced in 2005. Kayak Tillamook provides the kayaks – flat-water recreational craft that won’t tip over – along with the necessary gear and flotation devices, and snacks.

Contact kayak tillamook at 503/866-4808 or www.kayaktillamook.com.

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.

BAYOCEAN: THE TOWN THAT FELL INTO THE SEA

Bayocean Park was the dream of developer Thomas Benton Potter in 1906. The idea was to make it the “Atlantic City of the West,” and ambitious plans were drawn up that included a first-class hotel, a natatorium (indoor swimming pool), a dance pavilion, tennis courts, bowling alley, stores, post office, and several cafés as well as high-end vacation homes.

A ship was built to bring people from Portland and Astoria, but the voyage took three days.

When the railroad was completed in 1911, visitors took the train in only seven hours and were ferried to Bayocean from Bay City.

The grand opening of Bayocean Park was held June 22, 1912. By 1916, over 1,600 building lots had been sold at between $200 and $1,800 ($4,000 - $40,000 in today’s money).

HAUNTINGS AND BURIED TREASURE Is Tillamook County haunted? There have been sightings of a ghost at the Old Wheeler Hotel in North County, but few in other places.

Cloverdale’s resident ghost reportedly moved to Bay City after its hotel burned, decades ago.

However, the ghost did not leave a forwarding address. Lest one feel too comfortable about being in a haunt-free environment, though, one should keep in mind that a team of paranormal investigators visiting Tillamook County as recently as 2010 disappeared and were never heard from again.

There is treasure here – drowned rather than

The construction of the North Tillamook Bay Jetty (begun in 1917) spelled trouble for Bayocean. The Army Corps of Engineers had warned that a south jetty should be built at the same time as the North Jetty, but their warnings went unheeded.

left the peninsula an island. The last house fell into the ocean on February 15, 1960.

The South Jetty was constructed in 1965.

Beaches began to erode and, between 1939 and 1944, erosion increased to about 16 feet each year. By 1936, the ocean had encroached so that the natatorium’s front and roof collapsed and by 1940, there was no trace left of the building. Other buildings suffered similar fates.

The narrow spit breached several times in 1939, 1942, and 1948. In 1954, one of the largest breaches buried, for the most part. Tillamook County’s rugged Pacific shore has been the graveyard of ships as far back as the late 1500s. A Spanish galleon wrecked off Nehalem Bay has been washing pieces of its cargo – chiefly beeswax, teak, and Chinese pottery – ashore for more than 300 years. It wasn’t the first: the area’s first settlers remarked on the Indians’ arrowheads made from shards of colorful Oriental china. Some of those arrowheads, and blocks of wax with Spanish imprints, can be seen in local museums.

Tillamook County’s most celebrated buried treasure has been hunted for years and never found.

Settlers heard from local Indians tales of pale men in armor climbing partway up Neahkahnie Mountain and burying a chest, along with the body of the slave who dug the hole (making it literally a “dead man’s chest”). The treasure-burying supposedly

followed a pitched battle between two “winged canoes.” No one knows what might have been in the chest, or why anyone would want to climb Neahkahnie Mountain – a difficult climb even when one isn’t wearing armor – to bury it. The mountain is pockmarked with holes documenting years of unproductive searches. These days, much of the mountain is part of Oswald West State Park, and treasure hunting is prohibited.

The “Treasure of Neahkahnie Mountain,” as it’s called, was the subject of a movie, Tillamook Treasure, made in 2006 – in which the protagonist, a teenaged girl, never actually finds the treasure, either. (She discovers her family is her “real treasure.”) The movie’s national premiere (after it was picked up by a major studio) was in Tillamook, in 2007, at the Coliseum Theater.

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

FISH, CRAB AND CLAM

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.)

photo by josiah darr

Be sure to 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 Rd. 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-

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 Dr. 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.

OREGON COAST SCENIC RAILROAD

Passenger trains came to this part of the Oregon coast in 1911 – and still run today. Built by the Portland Railway and Navigation Company – the “Punk, Rotten and Nasty” – the Atlas of North American Railroads described the line as “the most scenic in the United States – and also the most difficult to maintain.” Today, the line is run by the non-profit Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad.

The railroad’s roundhouse (actually rectangular) and shop are in downtown Garibaldi.

The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad is the only tourist railroad on the Oregon coast. Two vintage steam locomotives – a 1910 Heisler and a 1925 McCloud – offer a leisurely and delightful excursion between Garibaldi and Rockaway Beach, with dinner and special excursion trains to Wheeler. The trip between Garibaldi and Rockaway takes 90 minutes, and you can board the train from either location. The three-hour trip to Wheeler includes a four-course dinner.

Beginning Memorial Day weekend, trains leave Garibaldi at noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., and Rockaway at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Daily service seven days a week begins June 22 and lasts through Labor Day; weekend service continues through Sept. 30.

There are dinner trains leaving Garibaldi at 6:15 p.m. on May 25, June 15, July 13, July 27, Aug. 17, Aug. 31, Sept. 7, Sept. 14, Sept. 28, and Oct. 12 (the Oct. 12 train leaves at 4 p.m.).

PIONEER MUSEUM If you’re a history buff – especially if you’re interested in Oregon – this is a must-see destination. Since its inception in 1945, the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum has amassed a huge collection of information, artifacts and photographs of the area, its history, and its people.

The Museum building in downtown Tillamook is a historical artifact itself. Built in 1905, it was Tillamook County’s second courthouse (the first one burned). It’s located across the street from the “new” courthouse built in 1933.

The 11 rooms of exhibits include a room dedicated to local Native Americans, a pioneer home, a military room, and a Victorian-era bedroom. The Alex Walker Natural History Room houses an extensive collection of birds, animals, rocks, fossils, and butterflies, said to be one of the best displays on the West Coast. Another gallery displays a portion of the late U.S. Senator Mark Hatfield’s collection of Lincoln memorabilia.

The Pioneer Museum is home to the last stagecoach to cross the mountains from Yamhill County (in 1911), a collection of logging, dairy and farming tools, and a replica of the stump lived in by Joseph Champion, Tillamook County’s first settler. Rotating exhibits in the Main and Northwest Galleries host everything from artists’ exhibitions to historical featured shows.

GETTING THERE ADDRESS: 2106 Second St., in downtown Tillamook. The museum is at the corner of Second and Pacific (Hwy. 101 going north).

PHONE: 503-842-4553 Website: www.tcpm.org HOURS: Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Closed Mondays and major holidays. The research library is open for use Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Closed Sundays, Mondays and major holidays.

COST: Adults $4; seniors (62+) $3; children 10-17 $1. Children under 10 free. Members of the Tillamook County Pioneer Association and Friends of the Pioneer Museum are also free. Research fees are $30 per hour.

Outside, there’s a tribute to the county’s forest industry, including a restored turn-ofthe-20th-century steam donkey.

Five miles north of Tillamook, the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum has been

developing interpretive trails over 70 of the 200 acres it owns in west Bay City called Kilchis Point Reserve. This site is opened to the public for hiking, nature walks, and picnics from dawn to dusk daily. Outdoor Discovery Day at Kilchis Point is July 27.

WALK OUR QUILT TRAIL The Tillamook County Quilt Trail began as a self-guided tour of some of the county’s historic dairy barns, conceived by the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center. Sixteen barn/ structure blocks are now on display on the original trail, the first of its kind of the West Coast. Most of the quilt block patterns come from “Patterns for an Oregon Quilt,” a book available at the Latimer Quilt & Textile Center, and itself derived from a book by Eula M. Long. Many of the patterns were designed exclusively for Oregon.

In 2010, the committee began planning and execution of a quilt block trail in downtown Tillamook, hanging 30 blocks on participating businesses and promoting our coastal heritage. At the end of that endeavor, 42 more people were on a waiting list for blocks of their own. Downtown Tillamook now has a plethora of vibrant quilt block patterns affixed to the outside walls of businesses, churches and service centers. Each pat-

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

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

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

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

The Tillamook County Quilt Trail is a selfguided tour, giving your group or family a comfortable and leisurely drive around the Tillamook area to view the many Quilt Blocks. Most of the quilt blocks are located

in central Tillamook County on Highway 101, Highway 6, Wilson River Loop and McCormick Loop, but the Quilt Trail now extends as far north as Wheeler and as far south as the T-Sue Dairy, seven miles south of Tillamook on Highway 101.

For more information, contact the Tillamook Chamber of Commerce at 503/842-7525 or visit www.gotillamook.com; the Quilt Trail’s Website is www.tillamookquilttrail.org.

LATIMER QUILT & TEXTILE CENTER The Latimer Quilt and Textile Center, opened in 1991, is housed in the “new” Maple Leaf School, built in the 1930s. (The original one-room schoolhouse – now gone -- had been moved here in 1900.) The Center has exhibits of antique and contemporary quilts, weaving and spinning demonstrations, and offers instruction in various textile arts.

The Center hosts meetings of the Oregon Coast Fiberartisans, the Ocean Breeze Rugkrafters Guild and the Tillamook County Quilters Guild. There is a

research library for on site use, a climate controlled textile repository, and a gift shop with hand-made items, books and vintage and hand-dyed fabric.

The Center’s extensive library covers every aspect of fiber arts with emphasis on quilting, handweaving and spinning. Many of the books are rare and out of print. Also included are collections of quilt blocks and patterns and newspaper needlework clippings. All library materials are available for use on site for research.

You can see it from Tillamook four miles away – a gigantic hangar, emblazoned with the words “Air Museum,” dozens of feet tall. It’s a former blimp hangar, built during World War II by the U.S. Navy to house what they called their “K-series airships.” The hangars – there were originally two (one burned in 1992) – could hold four or more of the blimps at one time. The remaining hangar is the largest wooden clear-span structure in the world. The Tillamook Air Museum is located inside.

“Hangar B,” as it’s called, is over 1,000 feet long, nearly 300 feet wide, and 192 feet tall, and encloses six acres.

(That metal roof measures 13 acres.)

It’s large enough to have its own weather (dry, but often chilly). Instead of blimps, what you’ll find inside are over 30 restored combat aircraft, from the U.S. and other countries. About a third of the aircraft are on loan from the Pensacola (Fla.) Naval Air Museum to the Port of Tillamook Bay, which owns the hangar and 1,600 acres of surrounding land.

Tillamook’s big Veteran’s Day commemoration is held here. The Air Base Café offers lunch in a 1950s diner atmosphere, with the jukebox playing Big Band music from the 1940s and rock ‘n’ roll from the 1950s. The Air Museum theater shows a 20-minute history of the Tillamook Naval Air Station.

TAKE A RIDE AT THE TILLAMOOK COUNTY FAIR The Tillamook County Fair was initially held at a site on Third Street near what is now downtown Tillamook.

(At the time, “country” was just a few blocks off the main street.) The current 68-acre fairgrounds was donated in 1925 and the first building built that year. (It’s the one with the domed roof, still in use.)

Today, the fairgrounds has 27 buildings, including the main exhibit hall, a convention center and auditorium. There are six livestock barns, assorted dormitories and service structures, a half-mile racetrack and, new in 2008, a complete grandstand.

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 wheelchair-accessible 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.

SOUTH TILLAMOOK COUNTY

THE PACIFIC CITY DORY FLEET Pacific City has been the “Home of the Dory Fleet” for decades. The first boats launched from the beach at Cape Kiwanda more than 100 years ago. Today, about 200 boats call Pacific City their “home port.” The Pacific City dory fleet is likely the largest fleet of its kind in the world.

The dory is an old design; they were used as long ago as 300 A.D. on the Arabian Sea. Flat-bottomed (so they can launch from and land on shore), they’re small, fast, easy to handle and can carry a lot of weight. They were popular with Portugese fishermen until the early 1500s.

Before 1960, Pacific City dories were powered with oars in the surf and used outboard engines at sea. Today’s dories are square-sterned and highly mechanized with sophisticated electronics

and fishery gear. They’re flat-bottomed for beach launching and landing, much to the enjoyment of visitors who come to Pacific City and Cape Kiwanda. It’s important to remember that the dories may land at speeds necessary to stay ahead of the breaking surf, so give them lots of room!

Three fullylicensed charter boats carry passengers, and the rest of the fleet is a mix of private recreational and commercial salmon, albacore, halibut, rockfish and Dungeness crab vessels. Landings of fish and shellfish are recorded by state and Federal governments, along with all other recognized ports on the West Coast.

When you visit Pacific City, stop at Cape Kiwanda.

A memorial wall was recently constructed with many unique boat names. There’s also a list of people who’ve been dory captains and who were prominent in the development of the fleet. You will note that on the list, only three dorymen are known to have died at sea – in almost a century!

Each year, on the third weekend in July, the town celebrates with “Dory Days,” with a parade on Saturday. The 54th annual Dory Days celebration will be July 19-21, 2013. The Blessing of the Fleet is at Cape Kiwanda on either the first or second Saturday in June, depending on the tides.

The Dorymens Association, an Oregon non-profit corporation, maintains a mailing list of over 550, and invites you to visit its webpage at www. pcdorymen.com for about everything you would want to know about this unique and historic maritime activity.

SOUTH TILLAMOOK COUNTY

SAND LAKE RECREATION AREA Yes, it’s a lake made of sand – 1,076 acres of open sand dunes surrounded by forest and adjacent to the Pacific Ocean.

The Sandlake Recreation Area, popular with off-road enthusiasts, is located 15 miles south of Tillamook (it’s six miles north of Pacific City), between Cape Lookout on the north and Cape Kiwanda on the south.

Sandlake is owned and operated by the U.S. Forest Service.

The Sand Lake dunes are an example of a “parabola system.” Parabola dunes, roughly U-shaped, develop from breaks, or “blowouts,” occurring when wind attacks an unstable vegetated point on the edge of a coastal forest. The dunes are moving, in a vaguely northeasterly direction, and the vegetation – European beach grass and shore pine – is constantly changing.

There are four campgrounds in the Sandlake Recreation Area: East Dunes, West Winds, Sandbeach and the Derrick Road Dispersed Campground. All charge a fee. Permits are obtained from the Hebo Ranger District

office in Hebo, either in person or by mail. It’s recommended you get permits well in advance for Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day weekends; the number of permits is limited during these highvolume times to 1,200. Riders need to follow all Oregon State OHV regulations.

The Sand Lake Estuary, adjacent to the Sand Lake Recreation Area, provides opportunities for fishing, swimming, crabbing, kayaking, hiking and wildlife viewing. The near-natural state of this 900-acre estuary provides a home to many species of water fowl and access is available at Fisherman’s Day Use area near the Sandbeach OHV Campground.

The sand dunes begin at the estuary and extend to the northeast about 3.5 miles.

The dunes are surrounded on three sides by a coastal mixed-conifer forest and on the west by the Pacific Ocean.

GETTING THERE DIRECTIONS: From Tillamook, take Hwy. 101 south to Sandlake Road.; turn right. At the 3-way stop, Sandlake Road. heads left; take the first road on the right and follow that to the OHV staging areas.

The Hebo Ranger District office, where you get the permits, is in Hebo, at 31525 Hwy. 22 (mail is P.O. Box 235, Hebo OR 97122).
