Description: Riverine channel permanently flooded joins Waneta Lake to Lamoka Lake. The water is slow moving. Emergent Marsh, Forested Wetlands, and Wetland Scrub-shrub occupy the saturated and seasonally flooded land adjacent to the channel.
Conditions: Water is high in March after snowmelt.
 

Disturbances: None apparent.
Comments: Even though the water is slow moving and during times of the year may not be moving at all, the feature is considered Riverine rather than Palustrine because it is in a confined channel and the water does flow between the lakes.
