Spring Canyon Ranch

Ranch Description

The Spring Canyon Ranch is a beautiful 3300 acre parcel located 3 miles west of Helper and 6 miles east of Scofield Reservoir offering hunting, recreational, and historical opportunities to any of its visitors. More than 6,000 people once worked and lived close to this area in what it now its ghost towns and coal mine ruins. Visitors love to snowmobile, cross country ski, hike, horseback ride, camp, 4 wheel and observe wildlife. There is a 6,000 sq ft garage with a 1,500 loft that is approximately 25% finished that will be helpful in storing ranch and recreational gear. A cattle herd spends its summer on the ranch preserving the agricultural tax status. There is marketable timber and springs found throughout the property to water the livestock and game. Mule deer bucks scoring in the high 100s and a bull elk which scored 395 have been harvested on the property. Cougar, bear, turkey, and ruffed grouse are also found on the property. The ranch controls access to more than 10,000 acres of state, BLM, and Forest Service land. The owner negotiated a conservation easement with the DWR when the ground was purchased in 2002. A right of first refusal within the conservation agreement has been waived off by the DWR and will not affect the Buyer. Buck and bull tags are available through the annual draw in this limited entry unit (elk) or they may be drawn by those with Utah lifetime hunting licenses (deer). Cougar, bear, and turkey tags may be drawn. Cow elk hunting with depredation elk tags made available by the DWR has become a successful hunting activity. The ranch is a popular place for shed horn hunters. There is no fishing.
