Mills Bridge is an unimproved boat launch providing drift boat and paddling access to the Wilson River, located approximately 6 miles east of Tillamook on Highway 6. This is a convenient put-in point for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore this popular coastal Oregon river. The launch serves as a good starting point for drift fishing and recreational paddling trips on the Wilson River.
The site offers direct river access suitable for small watercraft, though as an unimproved launch, visitors should be prepared for basic facilities. The Wilson River is a productive waterway in Tillamook County, making this access point popular during fishing and paddling seasons. The location is within reasonable distance of the Tillamook area's coastal amenities and nearby wildlife refuges, including Cape Meares and Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuges, which offer scenic viewing opportunities for paddlers exploring the region.
