Deer Forks Ranch, Douglas, Wyoming
Deer Forks Ranch is a working cattle, sheep and horse ranch located in the uncrowded, relatively undiscovered part of WY near Medicine Bow National Forest. A limited number of guests can share the relaxed lifestyle and unspoiled natural wide open spaces that Wyoming natives take for granted. Animals, both domestic and wildlife, are comfortable here and provide plenty of observation and photo opportunities. The road to the ranch crosses the historic Oregon Trail where ruts are still visible. Winter wildlife tours can be arranged to view the large elk herd and other wildlife. Trout fishing is in two mountain streams and a privately stocked reservoir. Brow Spring by the ranch house was a favorite campground for Indians and cave dwellers as evidenced by the artifacts which can occasionally be found. Horseback riding and hunting are popular activities. The Cow Creek unit 90 miles from the main ranch is in the least populated corner of the least populated county of WY which is the least populated state. A newly built home is available there for rent. More information can be found at guestranches.com/deerforks.htm on the Internet. Trailer hookup is available.
