Trail Overview

Start by turning off Highway 6 onto Cedar Butte Road, then take a left onto Wolf Creek Road, which eventually becomes Muesial Creek Road. You can also reach the opposite end of Muesial Creek Road by heading about 2 miles up Cedar Butte Road. Stretching roughly 4 miles, Muesial Creek Road crosses paths with Kilchis Lookout Road, which leads farther north into the Tillamook Forest. The route traces alongside Muesial Creek before climbing to meet Cedar Butte Road again. Along the way, you'll pass through a blend of forest and clear-cut areas. Muesial Creek Road is a standard logging road for the region--mostly smooth gravel with a series of switchbacks.

The northern intersection of Muesial Creek Road and Cedar Butte Road (45.55345,-123.63183) has a sign saying Muesial Creek Road is closed due to "forest operations". There wasn't a gate, just the sign. I didn't see any indications of dates or duration.
