Family Friendly The Ohanapecosh River surrounds an island of towering, thousand-year-old Douglas fir and western redcedar trees. Walk the trail to discover the grandeur and peace of this island.

The trail is closed due to bridge damage. Construction is expected to begin summer 2027.

Description

The Grove is just west of Stevens Canyon Entrance on the Ohanapecosh River. Walk the trail along the river to an island of ancient Western red-cedar, Douglas-fir, and Western hemlock. The sheer size of these ancient (some of which are over 1,000 years old) trees is staggering.
