In addition to the cultivated crops, the site is vegetated by various grasses in the farmland; cattails, Lyngbye's sedge, and bulrushes in the intertidal zone; and Red alder, willows and Black cottonwood, along with snowberry, salmonberry, and blackberries in the wooded areas.
Wetland plants near ponds north and west of the lake include cattails and rushes that provide habitat for marsh birds such as Red-winged Blackbirds.
This allows for the swamp-like habitat to exist for the growth of cattails (Typha latifolia L.) and also Juncus sp.
It was found that the worker ants remove soil from under clumps of wiregrass, other grasses or other fibrous rooted plants such as blackberry (Rubus spp.) or cattails (Typha spp.).
Aquatic vegetation, such as lilly pads Nymphaeaceae and cattails among other types, covers much of the lake, especially in the northern and eastern areas of the lake.
