Tillamook River

Tillamook River

The Tillamook River is a river, approximately 12 mi (19 km) long, on the coast of northwest Oregon in the United States. It drains an oceanside valley in the foothills of the Northern Oregon Coast Range west of Portland, emptying into the Pacific Ocean via Tillamook Bay.

It rises in southern Tillamook County in the Siuslaw National Forest, approximately 4 mi (6 km) from the ocean, due east of Cape Lookout. It flows initially east, then generally north, through a long broadening farming valley, passing west of Tillamook and entering the south end of Tillamook Bay. For its lower one mile (1.6 km), it shares a channel with the Trask River.

The valley south of Tillamook Bay is the primary area for dairy farms that form the cooperative of the world famous Tillamook Cheese Factory.
