This river corridor, situated on the western slope of Washington's Olympic Peninsula in Jefferson County, is a superior example of a low elevation rainforest. Its waters form a dramatic landscape punctuated by cascades, rapids and waterfalls. A diverse array of wildlife live here including a number of threatened, endangered and sensitive species such as bald eagles, marbled murrelets, ospreys, grouse and great blue herons. Several species of salmon live in these waters, as do steelhead and sea-run cutthroat trout. A seven-acre wetland is present on the north boundary, which is surrounded by old growth forests of hemlock, cedar and spruce. Thanks to the action of the Trust for Public Land, which purchased 133 acres from the Hancock Timber Resource Group in 1994, this habitat will continue to be preserved and treasured for its fish and wildlife values.
