Wakara Fishing
How did the White River become one of Colorado’s best trophy trout rivers? Rain saturation and snow melt from the fertile limestone geology of the White River Plateau makes its way into the river. Wakara trout feast on an exceptional biomass of insect and forage fish life. Runs, pools, and riffles delight fly-fishers on a private quarter-mile of White River. It is no wonder why rainbow and brown trout often reach 22 to 26 inches and 4 to 7 pounds.
Wakara Hunting
Hunting experiences never end in these parts. The largest elk herd in the nation lives in White River country. Elk, mule deer, and antelope spread out over Wakara River Ranch and the nearby Oak Ridge State Wildlife Area and Routt National Forest. Watch out for bull elk scoring 300+ and 190-class mule deer. Then we have the wild turkeys, too. So, when it comes to hunting land, Wakara offers the best.
Wakara River Ranch Facilities
And great amenities do not end there. Wakara River Ranch has been carefully stewarded and groomed. It comes with very senior water rights, positioning itself as a perfect candidate for a small cattle operation, addition to a larger cattle ranch, or as a premium horse property. With about 100 irrigated acres, the small mountain ranch is very productive. Each acre accounts for up to two tons of high-quality hay.
Several improvements supplement the operations. Facilities such as corrals, a historic red barn, a garage and outbuildings set the stage for action. Add a well-kept bunkhouse for immediate guest quarters. And Wakara River Ranch stand ready for your dream home or river lodge in the meadows.
