| There is approximately 10 miles of multiuse trail. The trail is composed of single track trail connecting forest roads. A variety of habitats and species can be found on this 6,855 acre unit -- the largest unit on the Cowlitz Wildlife Area. There are trout fishing opportunities on this unit as well. |
| Logging traffic is possible throughout the year so caution is advised. This is also a popular location for fall big game hunts so non-hunting users should take appropriate precautions. |
The Peterman Ridge unit is the largest on the Cowlitz Wildlife Area, with 6,840 acres south of Morton. It is managed for the pileated woodpecker (a sensitive species), black-tailed deer, and Douglas squirrels. Its forested wetland areas on Peterman Ridge also provide habitat for beaver, amphibians and other wetland- dependent species. Wildlife use throughout the unit is diverse, including elk, black bear, cougar, grouse, and turkey.
