Welcome to Olympic National Forest

Visitors enjoy a guided walk through the rainforest.The Olympic National 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.

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. 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. More about the forest.
