RANCH OF THE WEEK
Shawnee Anglers Retreat
Located less than an hour from Denver, Shawnee Anglers Retreat offers access to a coveted stretch of the North Fork of the South Platte River, direct public land adjacency, and highly usable mountain terrain. Multiple building sites and a protected setting create an ideal basecamp for fishing and year-round recreation.
Fishing
The property’s primary sporting attribute is its access to a productive stretch of the North Fork of the South Platte River, one of Colorado’s most respected trout fisheries. Nearly one-quarter mile of river frontage is accessible to only three neighboring ownerships, resulting in remarkably light fishing pressure for a Front Range property.
Situated within one of the North Fork’s most desirable fishing corridors, the property is flanked by renowned fisheries including Boxwood Gulch, Long Meadow Ranch, and the Orvis-endorsed North Fork Ranch. Decades of habitat enhancement and stewardship throughout this reach of the river have contributed to the quality of the fishery, benefiting both trout populations and angling opportunities on the property.
Recreation
The property is well positioned for a variety of outdoor pursuits beyond fishing. Adjacent public lands provide opportunities for hiking, hunting, and wildlife viewing directly from the property, while nearby recreation destinations include the extensive trail systems of the Pike National Forest, off-road routes throughout Park County, and the countless outdoor opportunities found along the Highway 285 corridor. The South Platte region is also known for camping, mountain biking, and big game hunting, making the property an ideal base for year-round recreation.
