northwest Oregon in the United States. It drains a mountains timber-producing
area of the Coastal Range west of Portland.

It rises in several forks in the Tillamook State Forest in the mountains of
northeastern Tillamook County. The North Fork (approximately 10 mi/16 km long)
rises in northern Tillamook County and flows south. The South Fork rises in
eastern Tillamook County and flows west, receiving the Devils Lake Fork and

Tillamook, entering the southeast end of Tillamook Bay approximately 3 mi (5 km)
northwest of Tillamook. The mouth of the river is approximately 1 mi (1.6 km)

The river provided an early wagon road from the Tualatin Valley to Tillamook.
Oregon State Highway 6 now follows the valley of the river, providing a
convenient route from Portland to the Oregon Coast.
