Description

Here’s your chance to own your very own fishing spot in the Olympic Peninsula. This 7.13-acre parcel sits on the Bogachiel River just outside the town of Forks with world class hunting and fishing all around you. Bogachiel State Park is just down the road. Olympus National Park and Ruby Beach are within 30 minutes. The 29-mile Bagochiel Hiking Trail (Pacific NW Trail) runs along the other side of the river.

The property is heavily timbered, relatively level, and has frontage along a maintained gravel road. There is a natural clearing near the front of the property that would make a good starting point for developing the parcel. Most of the northern half of the property is dried river bed / wetland area to the river. The other side of the river is the Olympic National Forest which will conserve the privacy of the property for generations to come.

Owning property on the Bogachiel (Bogey) is like holding a year-round fishing pass. The Bogey is considered one of the best fishing rivers on the Olympic Peninsula. Because it is not glacier-fed, like many of the other rivers within the park, it does not overflow from snow melt in spring and summer and provides a longer and better fishing season. The river is especially known for its large run of steelhead trout, especially in the upper reaches of the river during December and January. In the winter months, it’s not unusual for these steelhead to exceed 20-30 pounds. Chinook and Coho salmon can also be caught in the fall.

Directions

Use 1997 Dowan Creek Rd, which is the address for the property bordering its east side. You can either park on the street and walk directly into the property, or you have permission to drive down the nearest driveway serving 1993, 1995, and 1997 Dowens Creek Rd and walk west to the property through the neighboring property at 1997.

Adjacent to Public Lands – Your Gateway to the Outdoors!

This property has the benefit of bordering over 600,000 acres of the Olympic National Forest to the north, which further connects to another 900,000 acres within Olympic National Park to the east. Thousands more acres of State Trust land is can be accessed to the south and west.

As a landowner adjacent to national forest property, you gain direct access to undeveloped areas where you can hike, camp, hunt, or simply enjoy the peace and solitude of nature. Owning land that borders federally managed property not only gives you unmatched recreational access but also helps protect your privacy and preserve the natural character of your surroundings. Since public lands are unlikely to be developed, your views remain open and your connection to nature uninterrupted.

Whether you’re seeking a basecamp for outdoor adventures, a private retreat with room to roam, or a long-term investment with rare locational advantages, this parcel offers an opportunity few others can match.
