Sand Creek Ranch
An Ideal Wyoming Ranch The Ranch Conservation Community The Early Opportunity The Ranch Mission Statement
Open spaces, superb views, the sheltered creek and natural wildlife habitats provide elbowroom for a setting unspoiled by western sprawl.

Sand Creek Ranch lies at the base of the East Slope of the Bighorn Mountains in north central Wyoming. The 836-acre property consists primarily of hay meadows and rolling, irrigated pastures. About two miles of Sand Creek, a small perennial prairie stream, flows across the heart of the ranch. The Ranch also contains scattered sagebrush uplands and a ring of glacial buttes and ridges that frame the watershed. Ranch vistas vary from intimate creekside spaces to wide-open views of the foreground pastures, with rolling hills and vast high mountain backdrops beyond.

Productive agricultural operations incorporate 9.6 CFS (cubic feet per second) of water rights dating back as far as 1884. The value of water rights like this in the West is fundamental.

Cottonwoods, plum and chokecherry are plentiful along the riparian corridors. Wildlife is abundant. Prominent species include Pronghorn Antelope, Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, plus a variety of raptors, upland, and songbird species.

The Ranch has been described as “way more country than a surveyor measures.”
