The ranch consist of 1,510 deeded acres, which runs from a pristine riparian corridor along both sides of approximately 1.5 miles of Wind River frontage, up to a timbered ridge that adjoins BLM lands and provides direct access to the Shoshone National Forest and the Fitzpatrick Wilderness. The lower ground along the river benefits from water rights out of the Wind River, which allow for irrigation of approximately 124 acres. The lower fields are fenced into 5 separate pastures plus a corral area for handling stock. Historically the lower fields have put up hay as well and more recently, used as pasture ground. A private bridge which provides vehicular access across the Wind River. There is also an additional suspension foot bridge which provides quick walking access across the river directly from the main home and guest cabin.
The Wind River flows through the ranch for approximately 1.5 miles. This section of Wind River, below the town of Dubois and upstream do the East Fork is a fantastic stretch of water to wade fish. The most prominent fish on this reach are brown and rainbow trout, with an occasional cutthroat or brook trout possible. This section of river is freestone river, controlled only by Mother Nature. The riverbed is primarily cobblestone with boulders mixed in creating some nice pocket water. The classic riffle, run pool configuration is present and very straightforward to fish for all skill levels. The deeper holes on the ranch tend to hold the largest fish, and see hardly any wade traffic and no drift boat traffic.
