The Rendezvous is 4,225 acres north of Winthrop, between the Chewuch and Methow rivers. All of the area is surrounded by private land. Elevations range from 1,800 to 3,500 feet. It was purchased for mule deer winter range and migratory corridors, and also serves as a staging area during early spring green up. South facing slopes are primarily sagebrush, bitterbrush and bunch grasses. North slopes are timbered with Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine. Cub Creek, Little Cub Creek and the Riser Lake area have aspen and shrub dominated riparian areas, which are important mule deer fawning areas and nesting habitat for cavity nesters and migratory songbirds.
