The 30-mile long Navajo Lake some call it Colorado's very own Lake Powell can be seen from your deck and features two state park boat ramps, one in Colorado about 10 minutes away and the other down in New Mexico. This lake features an excellent small mouth bass fishery, large mouth, Northern Pike to 40 inches and excellent crappie and cat fishing. It is the head waters for the world-renowned quality waters of the San Juan River, 6 miles below the damn, that is recognized as one of the finest trophy trout fisheries in North America. Enjoy incredible waterfowing on the lake, sometimes having the whole lake to yourself. This area is known for producing world class mule deer and Over the Counter elk tags, both being taken right on the ranch. The Navajo Lake State Park is open for hunting in several areas, and the 1.8 million acres of the nearby San Juan National Forest is a playground for hunting, fishing, 4-wheeling, snowmobiling, and camping.
