- McDonald Bridge Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
Hunting for upland birds, turkeys, waterfowl and deer is popular on the McDonald Bridge Unit, and when steelhead are migrating, access to a total of two miles of river frontage provides fishing opportunities. Cottonwood, willow, alder and red-osier dogwood are the dominant woody species with reed canary grass being the primary understory species; one site is being restored to native grass cover and another is actively farmed under an agricultural lease.
- Swegle Road Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
Recreation opportunities on the Swegle Road Unit include hunting, fishing and wildlife viewing. Acquired for fishing, the unit provides fishing access to 0.5 mile of the Walla Walla River; but the unit has no boating access. Much of the unit is limited to natural riparian zone along the river, which supports good quality woody cover, and creates opportunity to hunt upland birds, turkey, and deer.
