Raging River State Forest

getting there

Take Exit 25 off of I-90 (for SR-18). Turn left onto SE 104th St, and then right onto Rattlesnake RD SE (DNR 35000). Please note that this location is  behind several gates, and is inaccessible unless instructors are present to open them. Carpooling is strongly encouraged, as parking at the site is extremely limited. Instructors will communicate with participants ahead of time to facilitate carpooling and confirm driving directions.
