Reduced Parking at Oak Creek

Oak Creek will have reduced parking through the next couple of months. Trucks are hauling logs from the Bug's Life Harvest through the 600 Gate at Oak Creek; to provide enough room for the trucks to enter and exit, OSU Research Forest installed no parking bollards and signs in several parking spots (photo). 

Given the reduced parking, please consider alternative ways to get to the Forest, such as carpooling, biking, or visiting at lower use times. Click here for a list of great tips! We also recommend checking out our Oak Creek parking webcam so you can plan your visit before you hit the trails.

547 Gate Now Open

The water line work at 547 Gate is complete. The gate is now open for public access. 

Thank you!
