Nisqually State Park is about 25 miles from the Nisqually Indian Reservation, in the foothills of Mount Tahoma (Rainier). These ancestral lands were, and remain, an important historical and cultural location within the Nisqually homelands. The 1,300-acre area was recently developed into a State Park in a partnership with the Nisqually Tribe and includes forest, prairie, old logging roads and steep slopes down to rivers and Ohop Creek.

A Village Center will welcome visitors and offer camping, picnicking and event space. A Peoples Center and Observatory is focused on an interpretation of millennia of habitation by the Nisqually people. The Plan acknowledges and reconciles conflict and encourages reconciliation.
