Looking for a nice place for tranquility, clean and clear walking trails trails and well labeled signs? Don’t go to Capitol forest. Looking for a place to blow off your gun and yell YEEHAW, dump your trash, or get ran over by an ATV? Yeah, this place is for you. Seriously. This place blows. So much potential though.

Let’s start with the highlight: coming across the group of people firing automatic weapons in the middle of a state forest. 50 feet off the trail. The signage here is complete garbage, so if you don’t bring a map, don’t plan on finding anything easily. The mixed use trails were destroyed by motorcyclists and ATVs. There are bullet shells everywhere. There are trucks speeding by every road scaring the crap out of hikers and cyclists. There didn’t seem to be any rangers or patrols out there, considering how much gunfire there was next to where families are supposed to be hiking.

Weird that no one has wrote a review for this super huge park. It may be that it’s hard to find the entrance. In fact there are several entrance points. I found the Bordeaux entrance just cruising around the Mima Falls Campground area which I found by way of Mima Mounds park. It’s fun to go traveling with no destination in mind. This park is major huge. Not as big as the Olympics but big enough to easily get lost in… in a good way. I don’t know if it is because it has been raining or is it just the way the forest smells but the air smells so fresh out there. The Capitol State Forest and Mima Mounds are perfect for hikers and campers. You do have to have the Discovery Pass and watch out for hunters. They even have signs to watch out for wild turkey poachers. I guess wild turkeys are protected or something. This is a perfect drive to take the kids out in. As you can see from the pix of signage I took the public road system ends not too far into the park so be careful. Also there is wildlife galore so watch out. Sadly I ran over a snake :(RIP Mr or Mrs snake. I guess I’m glad it wasn’t a deer. Please check this place out. Do your research before you go, wear good tough shoes and watch out for the ivy
