Welcome
The Olympic
National Forest is part of an emerald paradise. The
Forest is located on the Olympic Peninsula in the northwest corner
of Washington State (the Evergreen State). The Olympic Peninsula
is a unique geographic province consisting of five major landscape
settings: temperate rain forest, rugged mountain terrain, large
lowland lakes, cascading rivers, and saltwater beaches.
Here
the flora and fauna provide interest beyond the imagination.
Recreational opportunities seem unlimited.
The
Olympic Peninsula features over 2,132,300 acres of public Federal
lands for visitors to enjoy. Of this area, over 633,600 acres are
managed by the Olympic National Forest, which blankets
the foothills of the Olympic Mountains and surrounds much of the
Olympic National Park. In addition to the Federal land on the peninsula,
there are recreation opportunities offered on state, county and
private lands as well. The Forest offers a variety of recreation
opportunities and facilities including: Campgrounds,
Trails,
Cabins,
Picnic Sites,
Points of Interest,
Auto Tours,
and Wildernesses.

It is important
for visitors to know which agency manages the site or lands they
plan to visit because opportunities and regulations differ from
one agency to another. To get more information, you may wish to
contact any of the Olympic National Forest offices
or visit our maps and publication section to order an Olympic Peninsula
Recreation Map.
