By morning, crews and dozers had preliminary containment lines or retardant around the majority of the 4,000 acre fire area 8 miles east of Black Butte, west of Whychus Creek. Fire behavior was extremely active yesterday afternoon and through the evening hours and crews were challenged by numerous spot fires and group tree torching. Today, fire growth has been westerly, pushed by an east wind but forecasted northwest winds are beginning to push on preliminary fire lines to the south. A Central Oregon task force of structure fire engines, including one from Marion County, have been focused on point protection around Holmes Road and Squaw Creek Canyon Estates. Today, crews are holding and securing the fire lines put in place by several dozers with the assistance of five large air tankers dropping retardant to decrease fire behavior, and two helicopters dropping water to cool hot spots. A Central Oregon Fire Management Service (COFMS) Type 3 team has been in command of the fire and will transition to a Type 1 Oregon Department of Forestry team at 6:00 p.m.

    You have successfully arrived at the Nestucca/ Sand Lake Water Trail online guidebook. Please scroll down for your viewing pleasure. tillamook county water trail OREGON Nestucca and Sand Lake WATERSHEDS FLATWATER & WHITEWATER Produced by the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership WELCOME to the nestucca, Sand lake, & neskowin creek watersheds Tillamook County Water Trail - The Vision The Tillamook County Water Trail encourages the quiet exploration and discovery of the ecological, historical, social, and cultural features of Tillamook County from the uplands to the ocean. The Water Trail is a recreational and educational experience that promotes and celebrates the value of Tillamook County’s waterways with direct benefit to the economic, social, and environmental well-being of the County. The Water Trail enhances the identity of Tillamook County by establishing an alternative, low-impact way to enjoy and appreciate the wonders of all five Tillamook County estuaries and watersheds. A water trail is a path on a waterway connected through signs, maps, and access points providing a scenic and educational experience for non-motorized users. South Tillamook County boasts three impressive watersheds that together span 357 square miles and contain the unassuming hamlets of Beaver, Hebo, Cloverdale, Pacific City, and Neskowin, among others. History establishes these waterways as valued sites for sustenance, trade, and recreation. The waters of the Neskowin, Sand Lake and Nestucca estuaries flow through land dominated by dense forests, serene refuges, and tranquil parks. Bustling dairies dot the banks as you follow the path blazed by many a salmon making their way to and from the sea. Overhead you can spy migrating birds as they circle down to find the perfect spot to land.
