Sometimes you don’t have to travel far to geta refreshed perspective. Fish on Ranch is a refuge in Wyoming that’s close to Colorado, yet it’s just enough distance from life’s hustle bustle and the perfect place to soak in the wide open spaces of the west.
The property is located on the Little Laramie River near Centennial, Wyoming. The ranch is an easy drive from Dillon, Denver and Laramie, and is just a few miles from the Medicine Bow National Forest. A crow would not have to fly far to get there from Steamboat Springs, but mountains require cars to go around.
Fish on Ranch is privately owned and ideal as an all-inclusive buyout for more intimate events and smaller groups of about 10 to 20people. Home-style buildings like Miners Cabin are cozy and fully equipped accommodations, and while the lodging is spread throughout the property, it’s easy to get around with ATVs provided for guests.
With five ponds and over a mile of private river front, the most standout experience while staying at Fish on Ranch is the world-class fly fishing. Other activities include horseback riding, sport shooting, archery, basketball, pickleball and fitness in a full-size gymnasium. Trails have started to be built around the property as well, connecting about 10 miles of dirt track for running and mountain biking.
A ranch chef is available to prepare meals in the event barn, or guests can cook their favorite meal in the comfort of their own cabin. An on-site greenhouse allows cultivation of the freshest ingredients, from the day’s harvest to your plate.
Fish on Ranch is that kind of place where worries seam to drift downstream, creating opportunities for the vast space this land can offer all who visit.
