Welcome to Olympic National
Forest
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
. (Click on one of the preceding facilities or opportunities

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
