Deer Creek flows from the northern boundary of the ranch toward the south to Highway 285. Water: Horseshoe Creek Ranch comes with 74.2 Water Right Shares from the Mountain Mutual Reservoir Company. A one-acre pond sits on the edge of the valley meadow and can be kept full using the Water Rights. Wildlife: The ranch is rich in wildlife and has had a long history of hunting for over 150 years. The property is in the migration route, and provides excellent food sources, and cover for deer and elk. Deer Creek provides year-round fishing opportunities for Rainbow Trout and Brook Trout, and the water on the property also attracts migratory geese and ducks.
