Forks, Washington, is located in the heart of the Olympic
Peninsula, between the Olympic mountains and the Pacific Ocean beaches.
Forks and the surrounding area provide you with an impressive array of
recreational options as you explore the northwest corner of the Pacific
Northwest.
This 2,000-square-mile area is bordered on the north
and west by more than 100 miles of saltwater shores, and to the south and
east by alpine meadows and rain forest valleys. More than 200 miles of wild
rivers criss-cross the region, providing healthy runs of native salmon
and steelhead. Experience world-class attractions such as the Olympic
National Park, Rialto Beach, the Hoh Rain Forest, Kalaloch Beach, Lake
Ozette, Cape Flattery and the Northwest Coast, Lake Crescent, Sol Duc
Falls and our many scenic rivers and mountain trails.
Forks is also the setting of Stephanie Meyer's best-selling book Twilight, and fans of the book are making the journey to this small Washington town to tour sites mentioned in the book, including Forks High School and La Push. In fact, the town has completely " revamped" its image. For more information on Twilight attractions, click here.
Thanks to the Twilight series, this small Northwestern town is now one of the nation's top popular-culture tourism destinations. To read about other exciting pop-culture stops, check out our blog.
