Forks is located in the heart of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula between the Olympic Mountains and the Pacific Ocean beaches. This rural community embraces an active lifestyle and most locals spend their time outdoors. The majority of Forks’ main attractions are located in Olympic National Park, which is right next to town. The reservation offers a large variety of things to do including fishing, boating, wildlife viewing, camping, and more. Be sure to venture to the Hoh Rain Forest to view the gorgeous lush canopy of coniferous and deciduous species. Visit Kalaloch Beach and search for starfish and anemones in the tide pools.

Along with majestic natural landmarks filled with opportunities for adventure, Forks also has unique museums. Learn about Forks’ history of logging while standing in an authentic fire lookout tower at the Forks Timber Museum. Visit John’s Beachcombing Museum and view the hundreds of items collected off of local beaches repurposed into art and artifacts.
