About Tillamook Forest Center
The Tillamook State Forest is a beautiful part of Oregon, and what better place to get out into nature than there! The Tillamook Forest Center is such a special place to visit the the entire family. You can get a deeper connection to the stunning forests through exploration, and creating lasting memories and unforgettable experiences.
Right in the heart of the Tillamook State Forest, this interpretive and educational center gives everyone a real look at the legacy and history of the forest, but also a great starting point for your outdoor adventure!
There is SO much to see and do in this amazing outdoor playground! Why not enjoy a family picnic in the woods, or watch the spawning salmon play in the water? If you are feeling active, you can attempt that adventurous climb to the top of a forest fire lookout (and don't forget to spend time at the top to enjoy those amazing views!)
Did you know that the Tillamook State Forest also has an amazing history? Well, just over 100 years ago, the area was actually served by stagecoach, and was the home of the frontier families. Today, YOUR family can learn all about the stories from others who experienced the area, and called it home. There certainly are plenty of stories to be heard too!
Tillamook Forest Center is great for fun programs, which are always very family-friendly! There are interpretive naturalises that will take you out on a number of programs, including forest nights, talks on wildlife, arts & crafts and even scavenger hunts!
How fun does that sound! Only about an hours drive from Portland, there is much outdoor fun to be had!
