They were an innovation as so little had been done by any state in the Union. The Oregon parks system owes its beginning to the thought of highway beautification advocated by many leaders of the state, including the Governors, the early State Highway Commissioners and Highway Engi- neers.

  • Netarts Water Trail Guidebook
    YOU HAVE ARRIVED! SCROLL DOWN TO FIND YOUR MOST CURRENT DRAFT This page does not print tillamook county water trail OREGON neTARTS WATERSHED Produced by the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership WelcomeWelcome to the Nehalemto Netarts Bay With the publication of the Netarts Bay water trail guidebook, a chapter closes for the local water trail community. It was over ten years ago that the Tillamook County Water Trail (TCWT) vision was brought forth. Since then, the five watersheds of Tillamook County have been celebrated through four guidebooks which reveal the uniqueness and similarities of local waterways and entice paddlers to explore further. Though the guidebooks are now complete, it is not the end of this endeavor. It will be exciting to see what blossoms from this experience and the efforts inspired by water trail enthusiasts. The TCWT has been a huge success, offering information that may not otherwise get into the hands of visitors, residents, and non-motorized paddlers. This project demonstrates that stewardship can happen in a thoughtful way, gently guiding folks in a direction of a healthy environment, while balancing recreation, community, and economy. Netarts Bay invites one to slow down, breathe deeply, and take a closer look. The bay is relatively small at just under four square miles. There are 14 streams and tributaries that encompass the entire 19 square mile watershed. Some wander through wetlands and others flow directly to the bay. The small community of Netarts Don Best, Best Impressions Picture Co. Don Best, lies at the north end of the bay and neighboring Oceanside is close by.

Recognizing that outdoor recreation is a major contributor to the state’s economy, This analysis is consistent with findings from other research conducted on Oregon’s outdoor recreation economy. In Travel Oregon, the Oregon Office of Outdoor Recreation (OREC), and Oregon Department of Fish and 2017, the Outdoor Industry Association estimated that $16.4 billion was spent on outdoor recreation trips and gear Wildlife (ODFW) came together to commission a study on the impacts of the outdoor recreation economy. purchases in Oregon, an estimate slightly higher than the one presented here. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) estimated that spending on outdoor recreation in Oregon in 2019 contributed $7.2 billion to Oregon’s GDP and The study found that in 2019, outdoor recreation in Oregon supported $15.6 billion in spending. supported 88,000 jobs. While these estimates vary from the findings of this analysis, it is important to understand Consumer spending on outdoor recreation supports businesses and jobs throughout the state, and then that the BEA analysis does not consider local recreation in their analysis, making the results more comparable to the ripples throughout Oregon’s economy as business income and wages are re-spent, causing economic visitor expenditure estimate presented earlier. effects in sectors not directly tied to outdoor recreation.
