Schafer State Park is a public recreation area along the Satsop River located midway between Olympia and Aberdeen in the Satsop Hills of Mason County, Washington. The 122-acre (49 ha) state park offers camping, two miles of hiking trails, fishing (especially for steelhead), swimming, birdwatching, interpretive activities, wildlife viewing, and horseshoes.[1] The park's abundance of historic structures led to its inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[4]
