Jones Creek

Description

Over 40,000 acres with 60+ miles of trail for Class I, II and III ATVs.
The Jordan Creek & Diamond Mill area is characterized by steep, rocky mountains (1500-2700') covered with 30 to 50 year Douglas-fir planted after the Tillamook Burn. The canyons and stream bottoms are covered with alder, maple, and cascara and cut by swift rocky streams. The rainfall average is 90-120" per year and winter riding is strongly discouraged. The trails are difficult and may be steep, narrow, rocky and rutted. This riding area is not suitable for beginning or novice riders. OHV recreationists need to expect log trucks and logging activity at any time. All trail bikes and ATVs must have a valid ATV sticker and a USFS approved spark arrestor. Ride safely, never ride alone and respect other users of the forest. Please be considerate of private property adjacent to the Diamond Mill staging area.
