QUICK FACTS Located in the upper Smiths Fork drainage of Lincoln County, Wyoming, the Two Forks Ranch has it all for either the true western rancher, or for the sportsman rancher who seeks private live water trout fishing and excellent big game hunting. With 790 acres of private land bordered on the north, east and west sides by Wyoming s largest contiguous block of public forest and recreational lands, the ranch is an absolute mecca for hunting, fishing, and recreational opportunities. A private section of the Smiths Fork River bisects the ranch, which is know for its exceptionally large native Bonneville Cutthroat Trout and huge Brown Trout. The freestone river braids and winds across a wide and flat river bottom valley, which is the site of the ranch s old and historic homestead structure. Elevations on the ranch range from 6,800 feet along the river s edge, up to 7,840 feet along a mountain ridgeline to the east, which is generally the ranch s eastern boundary. Two nicely wooded canyons run down through the ranch from the ridgeline, with mature stands of aspen and pine, and over one dozen beaver ponds. The diversity in terrain and ecological zones within the borders of this ranch will surprise you, creating exceptional habitat for the resident deer, elk, and moose. $2,500,000 A5 REAL ESTATE 2
LOCATION SMITHS FORK DRAINAGE LINCOLN COUNTY WYOMING Local Services are conveniently accessible 20 miles south in Cokeville, an authentic western Wyoming town of 500 people. Ranching is the heritage of most residents of Cokeville and surrounding area, which was informally called the Sheep Capital of the World in the early 1900s. Recreation and unspoiled western landscapes draw more and more people to southwestern Wyoming each year, but a relative few know about the pristine upper portions of the Smiths Fork Drainage, where the Two Forks Ranch is conveniently located in its own private valley. The owner can fish their private section of the Smiths Fork River, or hunt up the wooded canyons to the east, all without ever leaving the private confines of the ranch. A5 REAL ESTATE 3
WATER & FISHING The Two Forks Ranch is bisected by the main body of the famed Smiths Fork River, as well as the Dry Fork of the Smiths Fork River, which combine within the ranch s private borders. The Smiths Fork is a main tributary of the larger Bear River system, and is a prized cold-water trout fishery with a freestone bottom, and beautiful winding and braided sections that form endless runs, riffles, and deep holes. The river produces very large German Browns, but the native Bonneville Cutthroat Trout is the dominant species. Two additional creeks, several springs, and over a dozen beaver ponds can be found on the ranch.

WILDLIFE & HUNTING The Two Forks Ranch is located right in the middle of what many claim is the most prized deer and elk hunting region of the state, and perhaps even the west. The Wyoming Game and Fish manages the wildlife and hunting in this area, and regulations pertaining to hunting and obtaining licenses for this area differ for residents versus non-residents. The state also has a landowner license program for properties and owners that qualify.

LIVESTOCK GRAZING The ranch offers excellent summer grazing for livestock, with plenty of water and very productive grasses. Some perimeter fencing is already in place to utilize the private lands for exclusive livestock grazing should that be the desire of the next owner. In recent years, livestock which run on adjoining BLM lands have been allowed onto the property for summer grazing. A livestock operator looking to establish a summer ranching headquarters, would be hard pressed to find a more iconic, balanced, or just plain enjoyable setting than the Two Forks Ranch. There is a potential connection to additional grazing on public lands which adjoin the ranch, separate from this offering. Inquire with broker for additional details. A5 REAL ESTATE 6
