The small Trapper Creek Wilderness area consists of 5,970 acres in Southwest Washington in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The wilderness covers nearly the whole Trapper Creek drainage and is the only pristine fish habitat in the Wind River watershed. The terrain is very steep and rugged and holds many streams and waterfalls - one as tall as 100ft. It is one of the few sizeable blocks of low-elevation old-growth forest remaining in Southwest Washington. There are many relatively popular and well maintained hiking trails in the wilderness area.
