Template:Short description Template:Use American English Template:Infobox river The Tillamook River is a stream, about Template:Convert long, near the coast of northwest Oregon in the United States. It drains an oceanside valley in the foothills of the Northern Oregon Coast Range west of Portland and empties into the Pacific Ocean via Tillamook Bay.<ref name = "watershed council"/> It is one of five rivers—the Tillamook, the Trask, the Wilson, the Kilchis, and the Miami—that flow into the bay.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Rising in southern Tillamook County about Template:Convert east of Cape Lookout, it flows initially east, then generally north, through a long broadening farming valley, passing west of Tillamook and entering the south end of Tillamook Bay. For its lower Template:Convert, it shares a channel with the Trask River.<ref name = "watershed council"/><ref name="DeLorme">Template:Cite map</ref>

Although much of the upper watershed of about Template:Convert is forested, much of the lower valley consists of drained pasture land.<ref name = "watershed council"/>
