Totaling 5,560 acres, the Elk River Natural Resources Conservation Area in Grays Harbor is the largest, highest quality estuarine system remaining in Washington or Oregon. Elk River Natural Resources Conservation Area includes diverse habitats, ranging from tide flats and sloughs, saltmarsh and freshwater wetlands, to forested uplands. As part of the Pacific Flyway, the Elk River estuary is an important spring and fall stopover area for shorebirds and waterfowl, such as the common loon, tundra swan, and various species of ducks, plovers, and sandpipers, supporting up to 1 million shorebirds annually. The Elk River Natural Resources Conservation Area located southeast of Westport also includes a nesting site for bald eagle and significant habitat for elk, bear, beaver, river otter and other mammals.
