Hi Everyone,
Thanks for your help in mitigating fire danger over the last weekend during the Industrial Precaution Level 3 closure period by observing the trail closure and keeping OHV activity to the maintained gravel roads in the OHV recreation areas. It was a busy weekend for the TSF Fire Crews as state forest and state protected lands experienced high temperatures, low humidity, and some pretty spectacular lightening activity. However, the weather is breaking and that allows us to re-instate the OHV Trail Use Waiver. (Campfires remain restricted to developed campgrounds and signed designated dispersed campsites with ODF installed metal fire grates.)
Effective, Monday August 18th at 01:00 AM the Industrial Precaution Level will drop back down to a Level 2 allowing the OHV Trails in the Tillamook State Forest and the BLM managed Nestucca riding areas to re-OPEN to public use.
Thanks again for your help and patience!
