Tillamook Forest Center, Tillamook

The Tillamook Forest Center opened a few weeks ago after 3 years of closure. We’ve passed this way many times an didn’t think to stop by then we did! The appointment was Divine on the Sabbath. Beautiful and peaceful scenery. Educational exhibits inside. We watched the 1933 documentary of the Tillamook Burn and how the forest was regrown from the Lifegiver. $5 per adult suggested donation, cash only. Must visit!

An interesting place to visit. Information available about the natural and cultural history and the prehistory of the forest. Interactive exhibits. Various gifts and books available for sale inside. Clean well maintained restrooms. Free maps of areas of the forest. Staff were attentive and friendly. Free entry but they suggest a donation of $5 per person. Plenty of free paved parking. There is a bus stop. Trails are available but the lot is locked up over night. The signs said they close the lot and bridge at 4:00 pm. No cell reception.
