Access to the river is available by a short walk through our well forested neighborhood. The abundant wildlife is not shy of people as Nisqually Hideaway's development is situated in a No Shooting Zone and is bordered by Mt. Rainier National Park. Deer, Elk, Chipmunks, Raccoons, Blue jays, and Woodpeckers are frequent visitors. Do not be surprised if one of them approaches you looking for a handout.
