The Quincy Lakes Unit has been shaped over time by lava flows, glacial floodwaters, erosion, and seepage from irrigation water. Visitors to this unit will experience towering 800-foot basalt cliffs, isolated mesas, stair stepped benches, box canyons, and potholes. Several of the potholes are filled with water that has seeped from the irrigation of the Quincy Basin farmlands upslope, adding important diversity to the unit's fish and wildlife habitat.
The Quincy Lakes Unit is located west of George in Grant County. The unit can be accessed from Highway 281 from Road 3 NW. There is a WDFW gravel access road at the west end of County Road 3 NW.
The Quincy Lakes Unit occurs in both the Lower Crab Creek and Upper Columbia-Entiat watersheds within the Columbia Plateau.
This unit is part of the Columbia Basin Wildlife Area.
Game Management Units: 278, 290, 329, 272
