Elbe Hills and Tahoma

State Forest - Washington

Elbe Hills State Forest and Tahoma State Forest are DNR-managed lands that provide sustainable revenue in support of trust land beneficiaries. Left nearly barren by timber harvesting techniques of the early 20th century, these lands have been revitalized into productive working forests and natural habitat through extensive efforts by DNR. The forests flank the town of Elbe in the Nisqually River Valley near Mount Rainier. Elbe Hills and Tahoma State Forests provide a wide array of recreational opportunities. Trail systems for horseback riding and off-road vehicle riding are the foundation of recreation in Elbe Hills State Forest. Tahoma State Forest is a destination for winter activities, including cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing, and has overnight accommodations at backcountry ski huts, one of which is in Elbe Hills State Forest. The hut-to-hut trail system is also open to mountain biking and hiking in the summer.
