Summer chum, coho, steelhead and cutthroat can all be found in Chimacum Creek.

From 2000 to 2009, over 21,000 cubic yards of wood waste and fill material were removed, left behind from years of industrial use. Visit the Department of Ecology and the North Olympic Salmon Coalition.

It is also a great site for bird watching. Visitors can hike along the estuary and see kingfishers, woodpeckers, Osprey, Bald Eagles, Dunlins and ducks.
