Federation Forest State Park

 Concern about the destruction of old growth forests led the General Federation of Woman's Clubs of Washington State to start a “Save a Tree” campaign. In 1929 they purchased 62 acres of forest to form Big Tree Park.  Unfortunately in the early 1930s  windstorms, fires, and nearby logging destroyed the forest and the club began looking for a new site. The current site was acquired by Washington State Parks, named Federation State Forest, and dedicated in 1949.  

The park has a campground, picnic shelters, a  small interpretive center and 12 miles of interconnecting trails that loop through stands of Douglas-fir, western hemlock, Sitka spruce, and western red cedar trees. 

The interpretive center is accessible. We did not visit the campground. The Whispering Hemlocks Trail is accessible, surfaced with hard packed dirt. The other trails have roots and hills. We were confused by the signs because the sign at the start of  trail system did not indicated that the interpretive trail was the Whispering Hemlocks Trail. It also do not indicate that it was the accessible trail. At the first directional signs go to the left on the Whispering Hemlocks Trail as shown by the arrow. Trail Map

The parking lot is large enough for RVs. Park  47.15222, -121.68776
