 Reardan Audubon Lake Wildlife Area is 277 acres of wetlands, seasonal ponds, grasslands, channeled scablands and an 80-acre lake, located on the north side of the town of Reardan in northeast Lincoln County.
Reardan Audubon Lake supports over 200 bird and other wildlife species, 12 of special concern in Washington. Birds love this shallow basin for its food-rich alkaline mudflats, especially spring and fall migrating waterfowl and shorebirds. So many birdwatchers have been coming to this site since the 1950's that it became known as "Audubon Lake."
Reardan Audubon Lake was acquired in 2006 with a state grant for critical wildlife habitat after Spokane Audubon Society and Inland Northwest Land Trust secured a purchase agreement from former landowner Susan Eastman.
Reardan Audubon Lake is part of the Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail and the Great Washington State Birding Trail.
