Beaver, Oregon - Nestled in South Tillamook County	5/7/2007 10:10 PM
Your outdoors, recreational, hunting, fishing, small rural town - haven is in Beaver, and Hebo Oregon. If you want to play in the woods, fish for salmon, and just all around enjoy some peace - you've found it in Beaver Oregon. Beaver as it's name implies is home to an abundance of wildlife. There are farms, mini farms, cabins, and beautiful homes here. This little spot on a map (if it got a spot that day) is the most friendly, charming, little rural town that you can only imagine. Yet, like all the rest of Tillamook County - it's not that far fron the beach in Pacific City. It's also not that far from Sandlake!
