Carlson Creek Road: The bridge at Chicken Camp on Carlson Creek road is closed until further notice. The stream has scoured out the fill on one end of the bridge making it impassible to vehicles. We plan on repairing it as soon as the snow melts off enough to allow us to access the rock source we will be utilizing for the repair.
Tillamook District Road Closures
The West Fork Wilson River road is temporarily closed due to washing out in the December storms.
Not all of the roads listed below are entirely closed, some are blocked at the beginning, middle or end portion of the road and some are blocked at junctions to spurs, etc. This is the best information we have at the present.

Forest Grove District OHV Trails
Browns Camp OHV Area
#1 Rogers Camp Road and #2 Firebreak One trails are periodically closed on weekdays due to logging activity. Click here to see PDF map of closure area
#8 Julie's Trail is temporarily closed to prevent further impacts to the trail, to minimize erosion and impacts to water quality and to repair significantly damaged sections of the trail. Repairs will be completed by a contractor and are currently scheduled to take place during late summer and fall 2007. The trail will re-open in summer/fall 2008 when the repair work is complete. Respecting this trail closure will allow us to more quickly repair the damage and open the trail.
#9 Sidewinder Trail is temporarily closed for repair and upgrade work. The work is being contracted out. The Contractor has started work on the project. The trail will re-open in late fall 2007 once all repair and upgrade work is complete. Respecting this trail closure will allow us to more quickly repair the damage and open the trail.
#10 University Fire Power Trail is temporarily closed for the winter season to protect the trail resource, prevent further trail damage and to minimize erosion and impacts to water quality. The trail will re-open in late spring 2008. The small section of the trail usually left open in the winter months is now closed. The puncheon culvert crossing is eroded to the point that it is impassable to all vehicle traffic.
#12 Gummy Worm Trail. The section of trail from the first road crossing west to the end of the trail is temporarily closed for repair and upgrade work. The trail has been adopted by the Trailsmen Motorcycle Club. The club and the Oregon Department of Forestry are working together to complete the repair and maintenance work. The club recently completed work on the first section of the trail from Beaver Dam Road to the first road crossing and it is now open to use. Additional work is required on the rest of the trail. The entire trail is expected to be open in spring or early summer 2008.
#14 Firebreak FiveTrail. The top (south segment) of Firebreak Five from Saddle Mountain road to the upper Crushers Access Trail is temporarily closed for the winter season to protect the trail resource, minimize erosion and to prevent further trail damage. This segment of Firebreak Five Trail will re-open late spring 2008. The Crushers Loops remain open and can be accessed from the top of the trail by continuing up Saddle Mountain Road and staying left until you reach the top of Firebreak Five.
#16a Saddle Up Trail is temporarily closed for the winter season to protect the trail resource, minimize erosion and to prevent impacts to the trail. The trail will re-open in late spring 2008.
#16d Airplane Hill Trail. A segment of the Airplane Hill Trail has been significantly damaged and is no longer sustainable. The damaged segment will be redesigned to maintain the challenge and to make the trail sustainable. The Oregon Department of Forestry is working with the Cascade Cruisers four-wheel drive club to redesign and repair the trail. Design work is in progress and work will begin in winter/spring 2008. The trail will remain closed until the repair work is complete. The trail is expected to re-open in summer 2008.
#24 Bates Road Trail is temporarily closed due to a logging operation that is part of the Helibates Timber Sale. The trail will be temporarily gated at the junction of Highway 6 until the operation is complete. The trail will remain closed until the timber sale harvest activity is complete.
#25 Elliott Creek Trail is temporarily closed for repair and upgrade work. The work is being contracted out and will be opened once all repair and upgrade work is complete. Respecting this trail closure will allow us to more quickly repair the damage and open the trail.
# 43 Military Trail- there is currently one tree down on Military Trail.
Tillamook District OHV Trails
Jordan Creek OHV Area
# 27 Ben Smith Loop: The southern section of the loop trail has been closed due to resource issues. The trail fords a fish bearing stream, Ben Smith Creek, in two locations. Heavy gullying further up the trail has created severe ruts and some potentially dangerously narrow sections.
# 28 Archers Firebreak: The Can Opener section of Archers FB 4WD trail has been repaired and the boulders have been put back in place. Representatives from the 4WD community and ODF staff and an equipment operator met on site on Saturday, Nov. 24th. The users worked with ODF to direct the placement of the boulders to create a black diamond level rock crawl on this section of trail.
#28 B Can Opener - the soil around the recently replaced boulders on Can Opener is very soft and prone to erosion. Please help us protect the work that was done. Tread lightly when running that section and back down the trail if you start to notice that your wheels are spinning and mud is flying. We will be packing pit run into the soft spots when we have the chance.
#35 Buzzards Point Trail is closed due to a bridge wash-out that occurred during the November flood event.Bridge to be replaced with FEMA funded bridge
#36 Rogers Road Trail is closed due to active logging and project work. This closure is expected to last through the fall 2008.
# 37 Stick In The Nose is closed indefinitely due to timber sale activity.
#38 Mad Dogs Pumpkin Patch Trail is closed due to active logging and project work. This closure is expected to last through the fall 2008. For more information contact Sale Administrator at 503-815-7022.
#39 Spaur Creek Trail is open to motorcycle and quads. A recent volunteer work party repaired and re-set two trail bridges and hardened several sections of trail. Riders are advised to use caution on the trail bridges as they may be slick.
#40 Duane's Trail remains closed indefinitely due to flood damage. Riders are advised to not venture down this trail as it is a dead end and very difficult to ride back up. In addition this further damages the trail as inexperienced riders dig ruts as they struggle to climb back out.
