Use the Flora Vista entrance to get right to the hiking trails. Walking beneath a canopy of big leaf maples in the early summer will set your mind at ease.
Experience temperate rain forest in the city! Explore the side trails to discover evidence of Moxlie Creek Springs. Steep in parts, muddy in others, bring good footwear.
I like to take the Garfield Nature Trail down to this waterside park. Views of the city and capitol; Priest Point Park; and the bustling port and marina.
Explore the history of Olympia and Tumwater as you walk along the Deschutes River. Walk in the footsteps of so many before you and connect with the brewery, the salmon, the trees, and the waterfall.
Enjoy the company of so many happy dogs while you admire the beautiful city of Olympia, WA, day or night. A walk around Capitol Lake is a nice place to reflect almost any time of year.
This quiet park is a fantastic place to experience the incredible cycle of the salmon. Usually late fall for the fish, but the beauty of this regenerating forest lasts year-round. Watch for beavers.
A wonderful place to hike, camp, bird watch, or swim. Developed by the hardworking Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's, this glade, lake, and forest is easily accessible and well worth it.
Mappy is incorrect, but address is right. Come for a picnic on a nice day. Quiet place to enjoy Eld Inlet with a wonderful view of Mt. Rainier. Great trails to explore.
Awesome place to cookout with the family, or host a business party. Walk along the water, fly a kite, or roam the trails identifying different ferns.
This is where people used to load up on the steamboats to travel around Puget Sound. Now look at the sailboats, let your hair blow in the breeze, and smile as you take in the Olympic Mountains.
