Klootchy Creek County Park, County park and picnic site in Oregon, US

Klootchy Creek County Park is a county park along the Oregon coast, just off Highway 26 east of its junction with Highway 101. It features walking and biking trails that run through stands of old coastal trees, along with picnic areas and the remains of what was once a very large Sitka spruce.

The Sitka spruce at Klootchy Creek was designated the first Oregon Heritage Tree, a status that recognised its size and age. The Great Coastal Gale of December 2, 2007, snapped the trunk about 80 feet above ground. In February 2011, the parks department cut roughly 40 more feet off the remaining snag because decaying wood was falling and endangering visitors.

The giant spruce was designated the first Oregon Heritage Tree, a state program that marks trees of special value to Oregonians. Its fame drew visitors to this Clatsop County park long before the 2007 storm, and the remaining snag still stands as the landmark people come to see.

The park sits just off Highway 26 east of its junction with Highway 101 and gives access to the Necanicum River and a mountain bike trail system. In February 2011 about 40 feet more of the storm-snapped spruce snag was cut away because of falling wood, so keep a distance from the remaining trunk.

The tree was estimated at 500–700 years old, not nearly 800, and it was the first tree designated an Oregon Heritage Tree. The Great Coastal Gale of December 2, 2007, snapped it about 80 feet above ground; in February 2011 about 40 more feet of the decaying snag were cut off for safety.
