Welcome to the Grays Harbor County Straddleline ORV
Park. Straddleline ORV Park is located on a 155 acre
site along the Grays Harbor and Thurston County line.
The site is adjacent to State Route 8 and divided between
the two counties with 78 acres of land in Grays Harbor
County and 77 acres in Thurston County.
Straddleline is an intensive use facility which includes
5 miles of bike trails in the park and access to over
100 miles of trails within Capitol State Forest. It
offers over 150 acres of open riding, 1 mile MX track,
1/8 mile flat track, off-road courses, sand drag strip,
kid’s mini MX course, 4-wheel drive obstacle
course, camp sites, meeting hall, restrooms with showers,
concession stand with restrooms, covered grandstands,
a main office and a caretaker’s residence.
Grays Harbor and Thurston Counties acquired the site
in 1977 with Thurston county managing and operating
the park until closing it in 2002. Grays Harbor County
re-opened the park in October, 2005 after extensive
time and labor donated by volunteers and with funding
from the Washington State Interagency for Outdoor
Recreation.
Welcome and enjoy! |

in scope. Seasonal event schedules are available from

acre Capitol Forest multi-use recreation area. Trails
are available for all age and skill levels. The park
trail system is open April through September. Capitol
Forest is open from April through the end of October,
depending on the weather. Because the park trail system
and the Capitol Forest system are connected, the park
