Other Names

Tillamook State Forest, Trask River Road, Edwards Creek, Joyce Creek, Tahoe Lake, Hollywood OHV Staging Area

Last Known Status

Open

This area offers a few small play areas and a couple of gravel pits, but consists mainly of logging roads with some steep unmarked side trails. The novice terrain in the area would be the forest roads themselves.

With just a handful of camping areas (near the fish hatchery), the creek remains largely undisturbed, and the water is clear, but fairly low in the summer. This is a real remote area and can be described as somewhat untamed.
