"Pierce National Wildlife Refuge consists of 336 acres of river bottomland habitat with riparian areas, wetlands, grasslands and hardwoods. The refuge provides habitat for Canada geese, a variety of other waterfowl and numerous other wildlife species. Hardy Creek supports one of the last remaining chum salmon runs in the lower Columbia River drainage.”

The refuge, one of five units in the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge Complex, lies on the banks of the Columbia River just east of Beacon Rock State Park in Washington. It is closed to the public except by Special Use Permit, but hikers can view the southern end of the refuge from the Beacon Rock trail.
