Trail Information

Highlights

The challenging obstacle at the end of Can Opener gives the trail its name and makes this a fun trail for rock crawlers. After crossing a gatekeeper boulder field, the trail heads up a steep hill to a boulder pile at the top of the hill. Many big, built rigs spend hours playing around on the boulders and trying the more challenging lines through the obstacle. The shaded forest setting and ample parking make this a great spot to spend a little time watching 4x4s crawl through the forest.

The OHV trails on the west side of the Tillamook State Forest have reopened after the long summer closure due to fire danger. The east side OHV trails are still closed however. It is a good idea to call the Tillamook State Forest before you visit to ensure that the trails you wish to visit haven't closed again due to the risk of wildfire. Hopefully the fall rains will start soon. More information is available here: http://tillamookstateforest.blogspot.com/2021/08/ohv-trails-re-open-on-western-side-of.html

Due to high fire danger, the Tillamook State Forest is closing all OHV trails as of 1am on Friday June 25th. At this time the gravel roads in the TSF are still open for OHV use but all the trails are shut down. http://tillamookstateforest.blogspot.com/2021/06/fire-danger-moving-to-high-effective.html

The Tillamook State Forest is now in the "regulated use" portion of fire season. Please check fire danger before you go to the Tillamook State Forest and plan accordingly including minimum equipment you are required to carry while in the forest.
