Nowak Natural Area
Nowak Natural Area is divided into two distinct sections with a single, small northern parcel (.68 acres) on the left-bank of the Raging River and a larger southern parcel (7.47 acres) which is bisected in several places by the Raging River. Within the reach in close proximity to the Nowak Natural Area, the Raging River has a relatively flat gradient with gravel interspersed with smaller amounts of boulder material. A pronounced and active side channel flows through the lower southern portion of the site where an avulsion has occurred. The entire stretch of river that flows through the Nowak Natural Area is within a channel migration zone (CMZ) and considered to be a severe channel migration hazard.
Public use of the Nowak Natural Area is minimal - no formal trails exist on the site and access is limited.
