This large unit runs from Electric City and Banks Lake on the northern tip all the way south to I-90 and Moses Lake. It is mostly private land with a bit of state, NRD, BLM, and Bur of Reclamation. There are some private lands scattered throughout the unit that offer public access as well. Starting at the small town of Soap Lake, a string of small lakes run north along Hwy 17 including Soap, Lenore, Alkali, Blue, Park and Dry Falls Lakes. Brook Lake and Bill Clapp Lake are located a little further east in this basin land. Farming south of here is a mix between dry and irrigated, with the latter being almost exclusive along the southern edge. Various dryland crops dominate the northern region with interspersed lakes, marshes and drainages throughout. Along with resident deer, historically, mule deer migrate into this unit, which is entirely weather dependent, mainly when there is snowfall. There are no resident elk herds here.

There is a lot of checkerboarded public and private land here, a GPS is strongly recommended.

This is a relatively flat unit and it does not drain quickly, thus creating some large dunes and sandy soil with plentiful water. With minor elevation gains, shrub steppe, dryland wheat and CRP land are scattered across the central valley and southern flat edges. The western edge of the unit offers the steepest terrain, with native dryland bunch grass and sage, carved into deep coulees over time by wind and water.

A good majority of the unit has dryland and irrigated farm crops, ranging from wheat, popcorn, hay, sod, barley and grass seed. Irrigated crops include: apples, apricots, peaches, pears, onions, peas, mint, carrots and asparagus. Native and reclaimed regions are comprised of sagebrush, current, willow, wild rose, blue bunchgrass, wheatgrass, rice grass, thread grass, and non-native invasive cheatgrass. Non-native and invasive Russian olive does very well in the riparian landscape, competing with native rabbitbrush and spiny hopsage.

There are a variety of public lands equally spread out offering small pieces of land for public hunting. Check into the access on private lands programs as it can present a lot of key mule deer hunting opportunity. Private land can be tough; it is best to ask for permission early and not wait until the last minute. The best deer ground can easily rotate with the crops.

There are a variety of small public campgrounds spread over several lakes throughout unit. There are lots of options if you are more interested in a comfortable bed and a shower, and being closer to gas stations, restaurants, and a grocery store. Your best options for such accommodations will be in Electric City, Coulee City, Quincy, Ephrata, Soap Lake and Moses Lake.
