From 1936-1939, the site was known as Camp Wilson, a Works Progress Administration (WPA) camp. It housed 250 workers that helped build the Wilson River Highway.

Charles Sprague was governor of Oregon from 1939-1943 and helped pass a number of forest protection bills, particularly in relation to the Tillamook Burn.

The Trail

The trail is easy to get to from the parking lot. It’s a mostly flat short loop through the green, mossy forest of the Coast Range. It’s a perfect place to spend a few minutes outside.
