| : Kirwin Reservoir |
|
Kirwin Reservoir is fed by the North Fork of the Solomon River and Bow Creek. Both are intermittent streams, which means they may dry up in periods of low precipitation. The reservoir water levels fluctuate tremendously from year to year, depending upon rain and snow runoff. Kirwin NWR, consisting of 10,778 acres, supports diverse wildlife habitat including grasslands, wooded riparian areas (found along the banks of the river and reservoir), open water, wetlands and croplands.
