Kloochy Creek County Park

Toweringly majestic Sitka spruce trees create a captivating canopy overhead, offering sanctuary to a diverse array of wildlife below.

However, remnants of its grandeur still stand tall, serving as a prominent focal point within the park.
Meandering gracefully through the landscape, the park’s namesake creek adds a soothing ambiance with its gentle flow. Take pleasure in the tranquil sounds of running water as you explore the park’s serene surroundings or unwind amidst its peaceful allure. Picnic areas dotting the park provide an ideal setting for enjoying outdoor meals with loved ones, while designated play areas ensure endless entertainment for children.
For adventure enthusiasts, Klootchy Creek County Park serves as the gateway to the thrilling Klootchy Creek mountain bike trail system. Developed through a collaborative effort between Clatsop County Parks, GreenWood Resources and the North Coast Trail Alliance, these trails offer several miles of exhilarating downhill riding, with further expansions in progress.
