- The Olympic Unit consists of several parcels within the Wishkah River Valley. These areas are popular during hunting season and used throughout the year for hiking, biking, and wildlife viewing. Various streams wind their way through lush rain forests, and salmon and other fish species occupy the rivers. Although the purchase of the area was intended for elk management, upland bird use has also increased and various other species of wildlife use the habitat.
