About Bogachiel State Park

Bogachiel State Park sits on the Bogachiel River about four miles south of Forks, in a forested setting with river access. Visitors can wade near the water, hike and walk on local trails, watch birds, and stay at a campground that includes standard, partial hookup, and hiker-biker sites. Day use areas offer picnic tables, a covered kitchen shelter with a grill, and a restroom. The park also lies near the Hoh Rainforest, Rialto Beach, and the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail, which makes it a convenient base for trips around the western peninsula. Elk are common, so visitors should keep their distance and never feed them.
