D-3000

D-3000 is a dirt connector road in Capitol State Forest, connecting D-Line and D-1000. The road is primarily hard-packed dirt, with some scattered potholes and occasional larger ones. It traverses diverse landscapes, including open clear-cuts and dense forested areas, paired with occasional views of the nearby mountains. During the wetter months, travelers may encounter snow at higher elevations, as well as small creeks and waterfalls. Sherman Valley Campground is close to the southern end of this road for overnight access.

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.
