This large unit spans multiple ecosystems. The Snake River Breaks is the dominant feature along the northern border of the unit, winding down to Lake Sacajawea and ultimately into Lake Wallula along the western boundary. The furthermost west ground is comprised of private irrigated crops, many of which are listed in the Feel Free to Hunt program, along with the McNary National Wildlife Refuge along Lake Wallula and Walla Walla River. Oregon forms the southern boundary, south of the Walla Walla River Valley, which consists of large tracts of irrigated farms and some urban sprawl. From the City of Walla Walla, the border runs up Hwy 12 to Road 127 which crosses the Snake River at Peyton.

This large unit presents hunters with many options, gaining private land access will be very beneficial here.

This unit consists of large rolling terrain with minor elevation change from northeast to southwest. This country is not flat as it interlaces with subtle structures. Drought tolerant, native grasses dominate the land and provide excellent habitat for a wide range of species from deer, snakes, reptiles, raptors, upland birds and songbirds. Water gives life-blood around three sides of the unit, fed by large rivers and lakes. Here you will find a mix of wild flowers, reed grass and vast acres of ag crops

This unit is predominantly private land with isolated tracts of state land. Sizeable pieces of private land are enrolled for various hunter access.

Large areas of native grass prairies and sage comprise the bulk of the unit interspersed with CRP and state sections. However, as CRP agreements expire, more and more are going back to ag related use. This unit has a wide range of ag crops ranging from timber, barley, peas, sweet corn, grapes, dry beans, wheat, potatoes, grass seed, canola and asparagus. Along with crops, cattle and sheep graze on native short grass and stubble fields. With the number of crops in this area and rich diversity of wild flowers along the waterways, it’s no surprise that honey bees are also farmed here.

Seeing as this unit is pretty much all private, there are limited camping spots available here. If you are looking for lodging, gas stations, restaurants, and a grocery store, your best bet will be in the towns of Walla Walla, Dayton and Burbank.
