Acreage: Bald Peak Ranch is comprised of 2,957 contiguous acres including 1,070 deeded and two grazing leases. There is a 640-acre State of Wyoming lease and 1,247-acre BLM allotment. With excellent adjudicated water rights dating back to 1902, there are 347 irrigated acres combined with 134 acres of lush sub-irrigated pastures. Historically the irrigated fields have been utilized for high production barley and alfalfa. Currently leased, these fields are utilized for cattle grazing and provide exceptional habitat for a variety of wildlife including a large resident elk herd. The remaining 589 deeded acres consist of native rangeland providing additional grazing and wildlife habitat.

Live Water: Along the ranch’s northern border the Wyoming State and BLM lands provide access to three miles of the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River. Wyoming’s only federally designated Wild and Scenic River, the Clarks Fork originates high in the Beartooth Mountains and flows in a southeasterly direction into Wyoming for approximately 40 miles before re-entering Montana, and flowing northeast to join the mighty Yellowstone River. Fed by glacial lakes draining the Beartooth Plateau, the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone is a fly fisherman’s dream river. To complement the exceptional fishing on the Clarks Fork River there are two large reservoirs minutes from the ranch on BLM lands. Hogan Reservoir is a 45-acre catch and release lake where fishermen will find a variety of fish including brown trout and cutthroat trout.

The setting at the ranch provides one of the area’s most diverse wildlife environments. Surrounded by public lands and other large private tracts, the ranch is home to many different species of wildlife including mule deer, whitetail and pronghorn. Most notable is the ranch’s elk population. The pastures and rangelands provide excellent feed and habitat for trophy elk year-round and as a crucial part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The ranch is critical winter range for this species.
