McPherson Road

McPherson Road is a relatively well-maintained gravel road (meaning that potholes are possible) in the Tillamook State Forest, linking the Nehalem River to the west with Lost Creek Road to the east. It runs parallel to McPherson Creek to the south. Starting at approximately 73 feet in elevation on the Nehalem River side, the road climbs to over 1,300 feet at its eastern end. The eastern half features several logging spurs offering potential scenic views of the surrounding forest.
