Oregon State Forest Dispersed near Gnat Creek

Dense coastal Oregon timber country — tall conifers, logging roads, and the quiet creek drainages of the state forest north of Knappa — sets the scene for this small pull-off along a working forest road near Gnat Creek. The spot itself is uneven ground on what appears to be an abandoned road stub, now blocked by a downed log, making for a tucked-away and genuinely quiet overnight. The access road has a gate with logging signage at the entrance; the gate may be closed on weekends, so timing the approach matters.
