Forks
Forks, the midway point of the Olympic Peninsula, is true to
its history of being the meeting place and the supply headquarters between
the forks of the Calawah and the Bogachiel Rivers. It is 56 miles from
Port Angeles and 109 miles from Aberdeen.
This timbering and recreational center lies in the middle of
world-famous
steelhead rivers, close to herds of elk and deer who graze in some of the
most rugged hunting country in the Northwest. Forks lies minutes away from
great beach combing areas p; Ruby Beach, Mora and La
Push.

Forest Service and National Park Service. The Department of Natural
Resources also has an office in Forks.
