North River is a small little unit that produces both elk and deer hunting opportunities. It is located on the south side of Grays Harbor, from Whitcomb Flats to Aberdeen, then south along Hwy 101 to Raymond, and back up on the 105 by the Pacific Ocean. This unit is almost entirely private with typically smaller tracts, mostly owned by timber companies, however, there is some county land in the mix. While neither the elk or the blacktail deer harvest rates are extremely high, this unit does allow hunters the opportunity to go afield with the chance to punch a tag and fill the freezer.

Gaining access to private land is very important in this unit.
