Visiting Five Mile and Bell Creeks, Oregon

What can I do there?
The Five Mile Bell property is a beautiful mountain valley in the western foothills of Oregon’s Coast Range. The valley and the pleasant stream are easily accessible and available for hiking, fishing, bird watching, etc. Over the next few years, restoration activities involving stream improvement and timber stand improvement will be occurring, so recreational users should keep that in mind when visiting the property.

How do I get there?
The Five Mile and Bell Creeks property lies about 10 miles southeast of Florence, Oregon, in the western foothills of the Coast Range. It is accessible by vehicle via a network of county roads either from the north or the south. A U.S. Forest Service gate at the entrance limits access to foot or bicycle travel.
