The God's Valley Creek sub-basin drains 5,100 acres in the North Fork Nehalem River Watershed on Oregon's North Coast. God's Valley Creek is one of the top producers of coho salmon in the Nehalem Bay watershed and is considered a core area by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW). The God's Valley Creek mainstem, as well as three of the tributaries included in this project, are designated ODFW High Intrinsic Potential (HIP) areas.

God's Valley Road meanders through the valley bottom, crossing over 14 tributaries that drain into God's Valley Creek. The Tillamook Estuaries Partnership (TEP) is addressing a 3.5-mile section of this poorly designed road where high water velocities, culvert plugging, stream overtopping, and road erosion contribute to fish passage barriers and sediment run-off. TEP is also addressing a spur road with similar issues.
