ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL AREA
OCEAN
Pearched on the edge of the continental shelf, Tillamook County meets the Pacific Ocean with intensity and grandeur. Cascading cliffs provide a backdrop to crashing waves, sea starts sheltered in expansive tide pools, and see of the worlds largest monoliths rise from the ocean floor.
ESTUARIES
Tillamook County is home to 5 major estuaries that feed into our ocean seascape. Estuaries form a transition zone between river and ocean environments. The inflow of both sea water and fresh water provides high levels of nutrients, making estuaries among the most productive habitats in
the world.
RIVERS
Tillamook County gains much of it's character from 7 major rivers, which include the Nehalem, Trask, and Nestucca. Fish like steelhead, cutthroat, and salmon return each year to spawn in the rivers' tributary stream.s
