Forks, Washington, is located in the heart of the Olympic
Peninsula, between the Olympic mountains and the Pacific Ocean beaches.

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

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.
