With several managed trout ponds and over three miles of private river, there are bound to be several spots where the fish are biting. Try to complete the Smith Fork Ranch "Grand Slam" by catching all four species of trout during your visit to the ranch. Along with the Gunnison River, other access includes the Roaring Fork, Crystal, Frying Pan and Lake Fork rivers.
Smith Fork is located on Colorado's Western Slope and offers stunning views of the mountainous landscape. One unique aspect of the area is Needle Rock, a volcanic remnant that towers 800 feet above the Gunnison River Valley and originated as the throat of a large volcano about 28 million years ago.
During an intimate weekend, take advantage of Smith Fork Ranch's abundant wine cellar with over 400 choices. Enjoy the hot tub with someone special and take advantage of cozy robes and plush towels provided by the ranch. Ease your tense muscles with a relaxing massage or spa treatments.
