Blacks Fork River Ranch Brochure

LIVE WATER
BLACKS FORK RIVER
The Blacks Fork River meanders through the
ranch for over a half-mile, offering the desirable
aesthetic benefits of year-round live water and
productive trout fishing.
AUSTIN CANAL
The Austin Canal diverts water out of the Blacks
Fork River near the southeast corner of the ranch
and traverses the property for over a half-mile.
The sellers report that fishing in the canal is even
better than in the river. There is a bridge over
the Austin Canal which will accommodate four
wheelers and side-by-sides, and a solid-bottom
ford for larger vehicles.
