Wilson River Trail - revisited
Yesterday I headed out to Tillamook to take the Wilson River Trail 'east' segment as far as it goes. I've only ridden this trail about 5.5 miles in previously. What I found out is that it continues all the way to Diamond Mill parking/motor bike area (see pic with wooden arch bridge). The distance from the Elk Creek TH to Diamond Mill is about 9 miles. After a strenuous 1000 ft. climb from miles 4 to 6, you'll drop this same 1000 ft. for the last 3 miles, an amazing smooth flowing downhill.
There is another trail head marker at the south end of the gravel Diamond Mill parking area, but it was a little difficult to follow this very last segment. I think this continues to the Smith Homestead parking area. Either way though, you could just take Jones Creek Rd. south thereby connecting the two Wilson River segments. Sorry if this is old news, I did not know if this could be ridden as one continuous trail, but it definitely can. So you'd have: 9 miles for the east segment, ~1 mile on Jones Creek Rd., and about 6.5 miles on the west segment for a total of 16.5 miles.
The west section is a little sketchy to start off and it continues much further past the shown limits on the Tillamook SF map. Sadly this trail literally ends at mile 6.5, so you'll have to turn around at that point and at least head back to Cedar Butte Rd. With easy access off Rt. 6, this would make a great shuttle ride.
