The Gunnison River is the main tributary that feeds the largest reservoir in Colorado, Blue Mesa Lake, which is just nine miles west of the property, offering all kinds of fishing (Mackinaw, German Brown and Rainbow Trout and Kokanee Salmon.) Sailing, waterskiing, jet skiing, parasailing and beaching are popular.
There is lots of wildlife around the property including deer, red fox, rabbits, eagles, mink,... and sometimes an occasional bear wanders by.
In the summertime there's lots of kayaking, canoeing and rafting on the river - much of it organized from the Gunnison White Water River Park just 1/2 mile upstream, although there are many rafting outfits.
Mountain biking is everywhere - but the Hartman Rocks Recreational Area, 3 miles away, is famous. Several hundred miles of trails can be explored from your bicycle, dirt bike, or just hiking. Rope climbing enthusiasts go there too.
Gunnison County is over 85% National Forest or Wilderness area. The unique Gunnison Country is a sportsman's paradise with trophy elk and deer hunting. AN OUTDOORSMAN'S TOTAL MECCA!
Around the last week in September the fall colors are fabulous! Besides the shimmering red and gold Aspens, the native cottonwoods all around you become bright gold.
Please email me for any extra help you need - arranging for more fun is the icing on the cake for everyone.
