NEHALEM BAY VALLEY is comprised of Manzanita by the ocean, Nehalem on the river, and Wheeler on the bay.
Nehalem Bay State Park: The park has three camping sites in Loop "A" with tables, fire pits and ground cover facilitate access. The restroom and showers in Loop A meet access standards.
The 1.5 mile paved walking and bike path winds through the different sections of the park. At one place you can park by a bike path and walk about 2 blocks east to the Nehalem bay.
OSWALD WEST STATE PARK: The trail from the east parking lot to the picnic area offers one of Oregon's premier encounters with an old growth forest. The picnic area itself overlooks the beach.
BEACH ACCESS: The public owns rights to the beach west from a line 16 feet above sea level. During the early years of the 20th century, public rights were taken for granted because travelers used the beaches as roadways. In 1916 Governor Oswald created the Public Rights Roadway on the Oregon Coastline. Access rights were confirmed by the Beach Bill of 1967. Manzanita has 7 miles of open beach and Nadonna Beach has 8 miles of open hiking beach.
BICYCLE RENTALS: Standard bikes for around town riding or three-wheelers for riding the sand at Manzanita Fun Cycles on Laneda Ave., 368-6606
BIKING, MOUNTAIN: The North Oregon Coast offers mountain biking to thrill beginners and advanced hikers.
First timers and young children need to start on Nehalem Bay State Park bike paths.
FAMILY RIDES: The upper right of the area map posted on the office counter shows a 3,000 acres section of Tillamook State Forest known as the Coal Creek Tract. The area includes 28 miles of logging roads and wide single track (old skid roads). Vistas include panoramas of Onion Peak and the Nehalem Valley.
