E-line offers an East-West traversal across the southern end of Capitol State Forest, with a well-maintained gravel road and stunning views. There are no official hiking trails off of E-line, but several smaller offshoot roads, some closed to vehicles, if you were looking to get out of the vehicle for a period of time for hiking or target shooting.
Capitol State Forest can have active logging operations, so be sure to pay attention and watch for heavy machinery and trucks while exploring the forest. There is no dispersed camping allowed in Capitol State Forest; the only camping permitted within the forest is in official campgrounds, so please ensure that you have a plan for that if you need a place to stay for the night.
Capitol State Forest is an 11,000-acre forest packed with roads and trails and specific opportunities for recreational purposes. Please see https://www.dnr.wa.gov/Capitol for up-to-date info and closures relating to this location and any restrictions on activities.
