Check out the Oregon Motorcycle Riders Assn webpage. There's lots of good stuff there, including a link to all the public riding areas in the state. It's a short drive from Portland down to the Tillamook State Forest. If you're into slimy mud, then you'll be in heaven through the winter months there! It's a pretty big and fun trail system, extrmely steep in places. You can get free trail maps as some of the local businesses. Across the line in Washington you are Jones Creek and the Gifford-Pinchot National Forest. Go to the Northwest Motorcycle Assn website for info on Washinton riding areas.

Unfortunately, Jones Creek get closed for the winter now.

From the Washington State Department of Natural Resources:

Winter Closure of Jones Creek Trail System
Closure from December 1 to April 30 helps to maintain trails

In order to maintain the trails and prevent erosion during the wet winter, all roads in the Yacolt Burn State Forest and its popular Jones Creek Trail System are closed to all off-road vehicles. Ungated forest roads remain open for non-ORV recreation. The trail system will reopen on May 1, 2006.

The annual closure helps to reduce water damage to the trails during the rainy winter. The closures also allow time for DNR staff and volunteers to perform maintenance and repair operations on the trails and other facilities, which can cause disruptions and unsafe conditions for visitors if undertaken during the riding season.

For more information, call Shayne Cothern at the DNR office in Castle Rock at 360-577-2025, ext. 3036.
