Located on the renowned North
Fork of the Cache La Poudre River, we
are an angler's paradise. In addition
to the naturally established
population of Brown and Brook
trout, we stock Beaver Meadows Resort Ranch features three improved fishing/casting ponds that are mere footsteps from our restaurant and lodging facilities. They are ideal for the novice angler and a joy to the seasoned angler due to the sheer abundance of trout that they hold. For the more adventurous, just a short trek from the base facilities places you amongst a maze of beaver ponds ... within whose willows is the home of the wild Colorado Brook Trout. These creatures are a beautiful and tasty prize for those with the patience and skill to stalk them. In addition to the fishing opportunities we offer, there are five public lakes within a fifteen minute drive.
