The flood plains of the Waatch and Sooes Rivers contain the only flat land within the Reservation and are used for livestock grazing. Over 1,000 acres of the land bordering the Pacific Ocean have been reserved as a Wilderness Area. Other reserved areas include land around Hobuck Lake, an area of the forest set aside as a reserve for cedar trees, the entire 719 acre Ozette Reservation, and Tatoosh and Waadah Islands. The remaining land is managed intensively for the production of forest products. The climate is temperate, although, in the winter months, winds from the north and east gust up to 100 miles per hour.
Average rainfall is over one hundred inches a year.
Today, Neah Bay is a commercial fishing and timber community, as well as a tourist and sport fishing destination.
