Munson Creek Falls is quite nice and is set back in a quiet and restful place in the woods. Not heavily visited, but we stop whenever we are near Tillamook.

Bear Creek Artichokes

Between Pacific City and Tillamook, just north of Cloverdale, Bear Creek Artichokes is the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch or an in-between-meals snack. Our store is filled with gift items, clothing, fun kites, and decorative items.

Drove by Bear Creek many times but never stopped. On my travels I noticed many improvements on the grounds . Large pond with huge fountain and a dog park added recently . Got caught behind traffic so I pulled into parking lot to visit the business. Met Amanda the manager and buyer of the store. Outstanding representative for Bear Creek. The inventory is a class act and we left spending over a hundred bucks on some unique goods. The prices ARE reasonable and after research the wind chimes I bought are more expensive than all the sites on the internet. The business is extremely neat and orderly. The displays have taste . Its odd such a jewel of a store is located where it is. There is something for everyone in the store. Come summer Amanda spoke of additional improvements of the property and I expect it will be a huge stomping ground for motorists.

At this time, we’re open 7 days a week from 10am-6pm for self-guided tours, retail shopping, and to-go food and ice cream orders (still no dining inside). The health and safety of our guests, staff, and community continues to be our top priority, and face masks are still required during your visit.

Blue Heron Cheese & Wine Company

Reviewed By FloatingFischer

We really enjoyed Blue Heron Cheese & Wine Company. We first visited Tillamook Cheese Factory which was very crowded and chaotic. Blue Heron was way less crowded and more comfortable. We sampled several types of brie and they were delicious. There were lots of other samples too like dips, mustards, etc.. We bought a very fresh baguette, some brie and wine and sat outside at their picnic tables and had a nice picnic. Beautiful scenery, lots of parking, petting zoo. Good stop!
