Illahee Garden Club Roadside Park is a thoughtfully maintained native plant garden located along US Highway 12 near milepost 116 in Randle. Established in 1973, the park reflects decades of community stewardship and was revitalized through grants and volunteer effort. Designated as a Blue Star Memorial Highway site, the park honors all men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Visitors can follow a short, self-guided trail marked by numbered posts identifying fifteen native plants of Western Washington. Species include Pacific dogwood, vine maple, blue elderberry, and snowberry, which support pollinators, birds, and wildlife.

Interpretive signage shares information about native habitats, cultural history, and the Upper Cowlitz Valley. The peaceful setting makes this a welcoming place to stretch your legs, walk a leashed pet, and enjoy nature year-round while celebrating conservation, learning, and community pride.
