D-1000 runs north and south through Capitol State Forest, linking D-Line and C-Line by way of a narrow, well-used gravel road. While there are no campsites along its length, the road serves as a quiet connector for trail access and scenic riding. At its northern end, D-1000 meets up with Porter Trail, Porter-Tie, Wedekind, and Crestline, offering solid trailhead options for hikers and bikers. For those aiming higher, a junction with D-1500 provides a route up to the summit of Fuzzy Top, a lesser-traveled peak with rewarding views on clear days.
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.
