Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge protects a wetland landscape in southern Washington on the east slope of the Cascade Mountains at the base of Mount Adams. Spanning 7,071.70 acres on the former beds of Conboy and Camas lakes, it preserves land that was once a shallow marshy basin before settlers drained it. The refuge now contains conifer forest, grassland, shallow wetlands, and open water that support elk, deer, coyote, beaver, river otter, muskrat, cougar, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and about 150 bird species. It is especially known for sandhill cranes, while also providing habitat for bald eagles and Oregon spotted frogs.
