- South Nolan Natural Resources Conservation Area (dnr.wa.gov)
This 213-acre conservation area is an extensive forested wetland system and contains old-growth temperate rainforest and coastal sphagnum bog habitats. The forest- dominated by western redcedar, Sitka spruce, and western hemlock-includes many trees more than 500-years old. An unusual, low-elevation Pacific silver fir plant community also occurs within the conservation area.

Youngs Creek crashes through potholes into a small gorge very similar to the gorge downstream of Youngs Creek Falls, just 1/2 mile downstream. The difference being, the falls are visible from the road this time. The falls are viewed from a concrete bridge spanning Young Creek, the road leading to Cedar Ponds Lake and it’s surrounding houses. Best views are however from underneath the bridge (where your view will undoubtedly be graced with many exotic pink flag-tape flowers). Be careful on the slopes near the gorge though, they are crumbly and unstable - especially when wet.
