The forest is stewarded by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and is one of the most well-managed: not only for the production of timber, but also for recreational use. It’s central location, just southwest of Olympia, puts it in close proximity to neighboring counties of Pierce, Lewis and Clark counties, and makes for a great day trip.
Capitol Forest, comprising 110,000 acres, is a recreation haven in the Black Hills of Grays Harbor and Thurston County.
