With its headwaters in a national park and its mouth in a national wildlife refuge, the Nisqually River flows from glacier to delta, carving a circuitous path through forests, farm fields, and prairies.
The majestic Nisqually River and its surrounding lands have been carefully managed to ensure environmental health, nurture time-honored traditions, preserve local history and encourage the region's resource-based economy. Today logging, fishing and farming continue to shape the identity of the 722-square-mile Nisqually River Watershed as they have for well over a hundred years.
