The Eastern Subbasin is located between Honeydew Creek (RM 26.5) and Bridge Creek (RM 52.1) along the eastern side of Wilder Ridge, and the Mattole mainstem above Bear Creek, for a distance of about 25.6 miles. Over 94% of the subbasin is privately owned and it is largely managed for timber production and cattle ranching. The Eastern Subbasin supports populations of Chinook salmon, coho salmon, and steelhead trout.
