- Winchester Reservoir Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Winchester Reservoir Unit includes a lake that is actually a wide spot in the Winchester Wasteway, with an average depth of about 6 feet and the surrounding landscape is relatively flat with the lake in a natural low area. Gravel boat launches are on the south and upper east sides of the lake. Most of the lake is surrounded by cattail and bulrush marsh; habitat where waterfowl and shorebirds dominate. The uplands are a mix of tall wheatgrass or intermediate wheatgrass with big sage/bluebunch wheatgrass in some areas.

The Proterozoic (IPA: /ˌproʊtərəˈzoʊɪk, ˌprɒt-, -əroʊ-, -trə-, -troʊ-/ PROH-tər-ə-ZOH-ik, PROT-, -ər-oh-, -trə-, -troh-) is the third of the four geologic eons of Earth’s history, spanning the time interval from 2500 to 538.8 Mya, the longest eon of the Earth’s geologic time scale. It is preceded by the Archean and followed by the Phanerozoic, and is the most recent part of the Precambrian “supereon”.
