Trail Overview
This route is a nice backcountry route that leads from HWY 26 towards Nehalem Bay. The first section of this road is paved and then turns into 11 miles of gravel. There are a couple of state-run campgrounds along the route, as well as many dispersed camping spots right along the river. It's a very scenic drive with the river flowing alongside and a few small waterfalls dropping from the cliff sides. During the right time of year, there are great fishing opportunities.
