Found primarily within prairies, depression marshes have groundwater at or above the surface during 6 months or more throughout the year. Marshes are found along the margins of the three lakes. The most extensive marsh is at the south end of Lake Jackson. Small marshes are also found within natural and man-made depressions. Maidencane, St. Johns wort, and sand cordgrass are the dominant marsh plants.
