Columbia Basin Wildlife Area - Quincy Lakes Unit
Shallow lakes, marshes and reed beds attract migratory waterfowl, shorebirds and raptors—ideal for close bird portraits, reflective water compositions and wide wetland panoramas. Visit at sunrise or late afternoon for low-angle light and fog; autumn and spring migrations offer peak action. Access via gravel roads off George; limited parking and no fees but follow WDFW rules and stay on marked paths. Expect mosquitoes in summer; bring layers for wind on open water.
