Capitol State Forest reviews
-
Capitol State Forest is a paradise for bikers, hikers, horse riders, ATVs, dirt bikes... Definitely stay here to get away from it all for a few days with some fun recreation in the deal. Also be careful - you'll notice lots of signs related to firearms. There are plenty of gun ranges in the area; you're bound to hear them. Exploring the higher, inner gravel roads of the forest will lead you to some amazing overlooks in all directions. Olympic Otter
