With fly fishing, hunting and unrivalled natural beauty, the opportunity to acquire a ranch as diverse and geographically desirable as the Squirrel Creek Canyon Ranch is an investment chance not to be missed.
The Squirrel Creek Canyon Ranch is located in Fremont County, Idaho on the quiet western side of the famous Teton Mountain Range. The property is set in the rolling hills halfway between Ashton and Teton Valley, providing easy access to all area services including restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, golf, private air service and world-class skiing at Grand Targhee Ski and Summer Resort. The popular vacation town of Jackson Hole lies approximately 75 minutes to the southeast and offers commercial air service, endless all-season recreation and countless cultural amenities.
This property is well suited for a future conservation easement with its close proximity to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, live water onsite and abundant wildlife. The ranch is currently not encumbered and therefore could provide considerable conservation value for the incoming land owner.
Squirrel Creek is a fine private small stream fishery with healthy populations of trout including rainbow and brook and the occasional cutthroat and brown trout that have moved up through the system. With almost a half-mile of water onsite, the largest fish in the creek are typically rainbows, which move up from the Fall River in the spring. Eighteen inchers can be found in this water during that time although 8-12 inch fish are more typical during the summer months. The water on the ranch is characterized by pocket water, pools and long runs. This riparian corridor is very healthy with native vegetation lining the stream bank and bottom. The creek is ripe for enhancement and could become an even better fishery with the addition of more holding water.
