- Methow Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Methow Unit is located in the foothills on the east side of the Methow Valley. A narrow strip of land about 18 miles long, it varies in width from 0.5 mile to 2 miles, stretching from Falls Creek on the north end to Frazer Creek and Highway 20 on the south end. Habitats vary from Ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir forests, to shrubsteppe, to aspen/cottonwood riparian areas along stream courses. This unit was purchased primarily for mule deer winter range, but it hosts a variety of wildlife, including nesting golden eagles.
