North Tallahassee Creek flows the length of the ranch, which includes (3) trout ponds and associated ditch water rights. Wildlife abounds and includes elk, mule deer, black bear and turkey. The ranch is partially perimeter and cross-fenced and currently benefits from low taxes due to its agricultural status from an in-place grazing lease. Year-round access is provided via a county road.
