This is an extremely rare offering located in the heart of Wyoming at the end of the road, yet with excellent access. The ranch has been privately held for many years and never seen before except by family and privileged guests.
There are roughly ten miles of incredible trout fishery supporting fish ranging in size of 12 inches to 15 pounds. The creeks on the ranch are fed by springs originating at 8,900 feet in elevation before traveling throughout the property and confluencing to form Little Canyon Creek. The naturally occurring spring creeks offer consistent temperatures and balanced pH for fish habitats and a biodiversity in food and consistent flows throughout the year.
