- The Two Forks Unit provides walk-in bank fishing opportunities along a stream with mature black cottonwood riparian habitat.
- Badger Gulch Natural Area Preserve (dnr.wa.gov)
Located in a steep, narrow canyon, this 180 acre preserve protects excellent examples of the native grasslands and oak - pine savannas found in south-central Washington, as well as intact riparian vegetation along a seasonal creek. The site is rich in bird fauna, supporting a number of declining species such as the ash-throated flycatcher, Lewis’ woodpecker, and Vaux’s swift. The rocky slopes above the creek also contain populations of beaked cryptantha, a state-listed sensitive plant species.
- Mount Saint Helens Wildlife Area (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Mount St. Helens Wildlife Area is comprised of units that span Skamania, Clark, Cowlitz, and Wahkiakum counties, and totals approximately 10,500 acres of land. Habitat include tidal mudflats, wetlands, riparian, old-growth forest,forested floodplains, early seral mixed forest, ancient lava flows and volcanic deposits, and open grasslands. The units receive the most attention from a wildlife management perspective and provide some of the most critical winter range habitat for a portion of the Mount St. Helens Elk Herd. Many of the units support salmonid rearing and spawning habitat for threatened or endangered fish species.
