| | Battle Ground Lake State Park - Bird Watching | | The park is largely evergreen forest with trails around the lake. Annual average rainfall is 35 inches. The lake's origin is volcanic, and is believed to have been formed as a "Maar" volcano. This type of volcano is the result of hot lava or magma pushing up near the surface of the earth and then coming into contact with underground water. This is thought to have resulted in a large steam explosion, leaving a crater that later formed a lake. |

| | Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge - Bird Watching | | Refuge visitors enjoy the scenery, hike the Willard Springs trail, and observe wildlife from the county roads that surround and cross the refuge. Hunting is not permitted on the refuge. The refuge is located on the east slope of the Cascade Mountains at the base of 12,307-ft. Mount Adams in southern Washington. |
