The Carney Ranch Cora, Wyoming The Carney Ranch CORA, WYOMING Fly Fishing | Hunting | Ranching | Conservation The Carney Ranch CORA, WYOMING Introduction: When Author Otis Carney purchased the first piece of the Carney Ranch in 1963, it looked much like it does today. In his book, New Lease On Life, he describes the first time he saw the ranch and its surrounding beauty. “Then, to the east, the Wind River Mountains began to rise, and the Bridger Wilderness within them. The range was a massive upthrust of granite battlements, turrets, and three peaks rising over 13,000 feet, the highest in the state. Even in July there were still patches of snow on the mountains; the streams we passed over were crystal-clear and flooding out onto the hay meadows... Alex Maher, Owner/Broker John Merritt, Associate Broker Terry Fieseler, Associate Broker Andrew Coulter, Sales Associate Toll Free: 866.734.6100 www.LiveWaterProperties.com ...This area, I knew, rarely went dry. Locked in that spine of mountains, which was over a hundred miles long, were uncounted thousands of lakes...Tucked into the west slope were the lakes and streams that created the headwaters of the Green...Here armies of lodgepole pine marched into shadowy canyons, forming basin after basin, then softening into pale aspen forests clustered on the lower slopes. These trailed off into russet willow loops which meandered along the Green... The country was superb: green rich grass, pocks of water, streams. We lifted over a crest, and in the valley below, with the river snaking through it, lay the ranch.” (pages 43-44) www.LiveWaterProperties.com Ranch Location: The legacy Carney Ranch is located in the scenic, tightly-held Upper Green River valley in northwestern Wyoming. Nestled between the iconic Wind River, Gros Ventre, and Wyoming mountain ranges, this scenic property is home to classic western vistas. Rocky Mountain views are abundant, with the panoramic vista of the “Three Sisters” front and center. The ranch is 25 paved miles northwest of the Sublette County seat of Pinedale, Wyoming, and an hour and twenty-minute drive southeast from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, by paved highways. The Sublette County Airport (Wenz Field) is located approximately 33 miles from the ranch and handles most private jets on its 8,900’ runway. Commercial service is available in Jackson Hole, which is serviced daily by Delta, United, American and Frontier Airlines. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Ranch Acreage: The Carney Ranch consists of approximately 5,501 varied and contiguous acres. From the riparian Green River corridor to high mountain timbered forest, this property encompasses the best of all Western landscapes. The lowest elevation on the ranch is 7,600 feet, and the highest elevation is 8,350 feet. According to county records, there are 616 irrigated acres providing quality grass for livestock grazing. The remaining balance of the ranch is composed of grass and sagebrush pasture, timbered draws, forested upper land, and riparian corridors. Sharing borders with the Bridger‐Teton National Forest, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands, and State lands for approximately 3 ½ miles, this property offers countless additional acres to enjoy and explore. The 8,000-acre U.S. Forest Service Roaring Fork grazing allotment transfers with the sale of the ranch. Also included in the sale is the Carney Farm in Riverton, Wyoming, which contains 1,781 total acres. More detail on the farm can be found later in the brochure. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Live Water: The Green River is one of the most iconic rivers in the United States, and it is ranked in the top three rivers in Wyoming for catch rate per hour on Wyoming Game and Fish angler surveys. The Upper Green River is well known as one of the most scenic and productive fishing stretches of the Green. This river originates in high mountain lakes and streams within the Wind River Range. From there it plunges into the famous Green River Lakes beneath Squaretop Mountain. The river then flows for approximately 27 miles before entering the Carney Ranch from the north. The river bends through the property for nearly 8 ½ miles, and 7 of these miles include both sides of the river. It is in these deeps bends that large cutthroat, rainbow and brown trout lurk. Otis“I Carney couldn’t recalls “I wasbelieve casting thelazily beauty:with a yellow orange, woolly worm silver, on, not payinggray, attention. red – A sucka wild of water, fish. tight line. ” Out in a spray of sun leaped a rainbow, his side stripe flashing crimson. He darted and fought, hit the heavy eddies, bowed my rod...When I held him up, I couldn’t believe the beauty: orange, silver, gray, red – a wild fish. Not big, four pounds.” (page 94-95) As Otis referred to in his fishing accounts, the river provides delightful wade fishing spots throughout the ranch. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Live Water: (Continued) The Carney Ranch’s stretch of the Green is famous for its Grey Drake hatch, which typically occurs in early July. There must be something special about these insects, as seemingly every fish in the river abandon their hiding places to aggressively feed during this hatch. Other mayflies found in the Upper Green are Blue-winged Olives and Pale Morning Duns. Another trademark of the Green River is the caddis hatch, which typically occurs in the late evenings and early mornings. The early summer stonefly hatches also produce action and allow fisherman to throw large flies that entice aggressive takes. In addition, the terrestrial fishing in late summer and early fall is always high caliber. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Live Water: (Continued) With many private boat ramps throughout the ranch, an owner can spend the day doing custom-designed trips for the most convenient timeframes. The large amount of public land both upstream and downstream of the ranch allow an incoming owner additional floating opportunities. One can launch the boat from the National Forest upstream of the ranch to finish at the Rohatyn House, or float from the ranch boundary downstream to any of the 12 access points in BLM land. There are 17 river miles between public boat launches above and below the ranch, and this lengthy day keeps float traffic to a minimum through the ranch. In addition, Wyoming stream laws are such that members of the public are not allowed to set foot on the bottom of the riverbed or the banks, nor are they allowed to drop anchor without landowner permission. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Live Water: (Continued) In addition to the ample river access, the Carney Ranch also contains many lakes and ponds, which hold considerable amounts of trophy trout. The 9-acre Lake Lula is rumored to contain 10-pound fish, while other smaller ponds have also produced large trout throughout the years. In early May 2013, a 15-minute fishing experiment with the Broker Team yielded several 2-3 pound trout along with this 6-pound rainbow. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Nearby Live Water: The New Fork River is another local favorite, floatable in several stretches south of Pinedale near Boulder before it joins the Green River; this section of the river will provide outstanding opportunities for a raft or drift boat. The productive Green River and New Fork Lakes are a 10 to 20-minute drive and offer high mountain lake-fishing experiences. For hiking and equestrian adventures, the countless high mountain lakes and streams of the Wind River Range are excellent places to go day fishing or extended camping trips. Many of the lakes hold golden trout, a rare treat for the well‐traveled angler. Other fishing opportunities in the area include the Hoback, Snake, Greys and Salt Rivers in Wyoming with the South Fork, Teton, Fall, Henry’s Fork and the Warm Rivers in Idaho. Needless to say, from the Carney Ranch there are abundant choices for world-class fishing. www.LiveWaterProperties.com History: This area is rich in American history when it comes to the fur trade and mountain men. The first Rendezvous occurred in 1825, a gathering place for trappers to trade and sell their furs. This event was held in Sublette County, which is named after William Sublette, a mountain man and trapper in the area around 1820–1840. The location of the Rendezvous moved each year, and a total of six gatherings were held in this area between 1825 and 1840 near present day Daniel, Wyoming, a 35‐minute drive from the ranch. In Pinedale each summer, during the second weekend of July, the town celebrates with a parade and a reenactment of the Rendezvous with locals portraying mountain men and Indians. Much of this history can be enjoyed with a trip to the Museum of the Mountain Man located in Pinedale. The ranch itself is steeped in local history, as the current ranch is made up of 3 separate properties: the Bar E Bar Ranch, the Black Butte Ranch and the DC Bar Ranch. The first ranch the Carney family owned was the Bar E Bar Ranch, which was purchased in 1963 from the Dew family. The Dews purchased the property in 1943 from Ed and Bert Hill, who were the original homesteaders of the ranch. After operating their cattle business on the Bar E Bar for more than 17 years, Otis Carney’s brother, Peter, and other family members purchased the neighboring Black Butte Ranch in 1979 with the notion that the two ranches together would make a more complete operation. The DC Bar Ranch was the final piece to the puzzle. This forested property was originally settled by Frank Dew in 1925, and he helped build many of the structures that are still present today.

  • Perry W. Jenkins – “Father of Sublette County”
    Perry W. Jenkins – “Father of Sublette County” An article prepared by John W. Shields1 Pursuant to Receipt of a Lola Homsher Endowment Fund Grant From the Wyoming State Historical Society Perry Wilson Jenkins – known almost universally as “P.W.” to his many friends and colleagues – earned the honorary title “Father of Sublette County” by introducing and championing the legislative bill that designated Sublette County as one of Wyoming’s twenty-three counties. This title also arose from the fact that he filed numerous water right applications and performed the surveys for a considerable number of irrigation ditches in Sublette County. P.W., who lived for fifty years at the very headwaters of the Green River, was very aware of the importance of the Green River Basin to Wyoming’s future economic growth. The Green is the largest and longest of the tributaries to the Colorado River. With an annual mean discharge of about 15 million acre-feet, the Colorado River (including its tributaries, of which the Green River is its longest) is not a giant among the world’s rivers but it traverses one of North America’s driest regions. For the past one hundred years, the River’s unmatched possibilities and opportunities for economic development and growth in this arid region have spurred myriad political contests among irrigators, businesses, civic boosters, politicians, tribes, ranchers, government officials, engineers and, more recently, environmental groups and recreational users, all seeking a voice in Colorado River allocation decisions.2 A root cause of these conflicts is the hydrological reality that although roughly 90 percent of the River’s flow originates in the upper basin states of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming, much of the demand for the River’s water emanates from the lower basin states of Arizona, California, and Nevada.3 Perry Jenkins was well aware of these facts and was personally involved in several decades’ worth of those conflicts.

  • TECHNICALMEMORANDUM Basin Water Use Profile-Recreation
    Basin Water Use Profile - Recreation TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Green River Basin Plan II Basin Water Use Profile-Recreation DATE: April 2009 PREPARED BY: ERO Resources Corporation Introduction Water-based recreational uses in the Green River Basin include fishing, boating, skiing, and waterfowl hunting. Some of these activities, such as boating and fishing, are clearly water based, while others such as hunting depend on water to support waterfowl habitat. Streams and lakes also provide an indirect amenity that enhances the recreation experience for activities like camping, hiking, other recreation facilities located near open water. Although golf is not a water-dependent recreation activity, a reliable supply of water is needed for irrigation and maintenance. Most water-based recreation activities do not directly result in the consumptive use of water, with the exception of park and golf course irrigation. A. Approach The objective of this evaluation is to identify the types and locations of water-based recreation in the Green River Basin as part of the spectrum of economic and leisure activities that rely on the presence or use of water. The water requirements to meet non-consumptive recreational needs are not readily quantifiable; therefore, this assessment focuses on identifying import recreation uses in the Green River Basin, where they occur, and the value and potential conflict with other water uses. Information in this report was obtained from state and federal land management agencies, existing documentation, and other sources. Public agency data sources included the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD), the Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S.

    Live Water Fall/Winter Newsletter LIVE WATER IN THE NEWS “Easements Conserve 1,837 Acres” Excerpt: Green River Valley Land Trust Summer/Fall 2006 Newsletter Standing on the edge of a butte on the Bar Cross Ranch affords a beautiful view -- of the canyons and spires of the Wind River Range to the north and east and the verdant irrigated meadows and bottomland to the south. In fact, it is this very site with this incredible view that we chose as the location for our Annual Donor Appreciation Picnic this year. But, this is just one of about six sites we considered, as this beautiful 11,000+-acre property has a lot of special spots. A working cattle ranch, the Bar Cross has some unique attributes. From the GRVLT perspective, 1,837 acres are conserved after the 2005 easement donation by owner and GRVLT Advisory Board member, John Blatt. The property is near to several other existing easements, making it part of a neighborhood of more than 6,000 easement-protected acres. In addition, the Bar Cross has significant scenic, wildlife, and wildlife habitat values. The Ranch can be seen from Wyoming State Highway 352, Sublette County Road 149, and State of Wyoming and BLM lands to the west. The New Fork River and various irrigation ditches flow through the property and support healthy populations of trout and other fish. The importance of the property is enhanced by the fact that the wet agricultural meadows and wetlands connect the riparian corridor of the New Fork River to Willow Creek and to the sage covered foothills of the Wind River Front.
