The 46,089-acre Oak Creek Unit is located west of Naches and is bisected by the Naches and Tieton rivers. This is a popular area for hunting deer, elk, and upland game birds, as well as camping, rafting and rock climbing along the Tieton River. Hiking trails provide access to spectacular displays of spring wildflowers and bird watching opportunities, especially the Tieton River Nature Trail. Tim�s Pond along Highway 12 is stocked with trout several times a year, making it a popular family fishing spot. A winter elk feeding program is conducted annually to help reduce conflict between elk and neighboring agricultural land. California bighorn sheep are also fed during the winter on Cleman Mountain. These feed sites provide excellent opportunities to observe elk and sheep up close. Bald eagles and golden eagles are also abundant in winter. A visitor�s center is staffed by volunteers during the winter and contains information on the wildlife area and the various wildlife species on display.�
