Hoag Pass Road

Trail Overview

This gentle, winding gravel road travels through the BLM's Nestucca River Recreation Area, connecting Bald Mountain Road to Nestucca River Rd. It provides access to numerous ATV trails, so be aware of trail crossings and oncoming traffic. The canopy is predominantly old-growth Douglas Fir, Western Hemlock, and Red Alder, with ferns, wetland foliage, and seasonal flowers as understory. The road crosses the Nestucca River at the West end via a narrow bridge, with river access for wading available nearby. Oregon OHV/ATV Permits are required. Cell service, water, and restrooms are not available. Camping is restricted to the BLM's designated campgrounds.

Difficulty

This is a well-graded, well-maintained road. It is single vehicle width for the majority; however, it is wide enough for wide vehicles and trailers, with frequent pull-out areas for passing. There are frequent seasonal pot-holes, but no ruts or obstacles. Be prepared for downed trees and branches in winter and early spring, or after a major wind event.
