Wildwood Recreation Site
United States of America
The Wildwood Recreation Site is a natural recreation area surrounded by the Mount Hood National Forest in northern Oregon, United States. It encompasses 580 acres (230 ha) of old growth forest and five miles (8 km) of interpretive trail along the Salmon River. It features Cascade Streamwatch, an und

There is a wetland boardwalk trail, and trail access to the nearby 70-square-mile (180 km2) Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness, and the Sandy River. Wildwood educational programs offer scientists and researchers to help students gather and analyze environmental data related to the Salmon environment such as the river's chemical and physical properties, and the many resident invertebrates. A variety of streams and wetlands provide a diverse environment. Sixes Creek and a quarter mile (400 m) side channel of the Salmon River (restored in 1998), provide habitat for several anadromous fish: steelhead, Cutthroat trout and Chinook salmon.
