Willapa National Wildlife Refuge |
The refuge encompases 11,200 acres of marshland, upland forests, pastures, dunes, sand beaches, and tidal estuary.
Forested Long Island has a virgin stand of 1,000-year-old red cedars and tidal marshes that support deer, bear, elk, coyotes, beavers and smaller animals and birds.
More then 180 species of migratory birds have been sighted among the salt marshes and the shifting dunes of the Leadbetter Point Unit at the tip of Long Beach Peninsula.
Also part of the refuge are the adjoining tidal flats at the southern tip of Willapa Bay.
Camping is permitted on the Long Island Unit but is accessible by private boat only. Part of the refuge is open to waterfowl hunting.
