The most striking feature of the 15,266-acre Quincy Lakes Wildlife Area is its geology. The geology is a product of erosion of lava flows by glacial flood waters. The many layers of basalt are exposed in towering 800-foot 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. These wetlands, ponds and lakes have added important habitat diversity to this area.

Most of the Quincy Lakes Unit is well-vegetated with perennial plants. Big sage/bluebunch wheatgrass is the most common plant community. There are a variety of other native shrub steppe communities in areas where soil is scarce. A rare plant site near Frenchman Coulee has been designated a Natural Area. Several of the lakes are managed for seasonal trout fishing. Public access is available on the graveled roads and parking areas.

Quincy Lakes is just one of several Wildlife Areas in the Columbia Basin which is one of the most important waterfowl breeding grounds in Washington. Millions of other birds also use the waters and marshes for resting and feeding on their annual migrations along the Pacific Flyway. The thousands of small lakes, potholes, and seeps are home to Canada geese, mallards, redheads, canvasbacks, ringnecks, ruddy ducks, gadwalls, blue and greenwing teal, shovelers, pintails, goldeneyes, and wood ducks. Shorebirds abound and Caspian terns, pelicans, sandhill cranes, swans, and many other rare birds are seen. Ring-billed gulls, Brewer's, red-winged, and yellow-headed blackbirds, kildeer, meadowlarks, and horned larks are found. Game birds including pheasant, chukar and Hungarian partridge, and quail are common, though sage and sharp-tailed grouse have severely declined in numbers.
