Property Description

Situated in the Laramie Plains of Wyoming, the SKS Ranch property consists of near-level to gently rolling

hills of native prairie grass rangeland where antelope and mule deer thrive. The property borders the south-

ern shoreline of East Allen Lake for approximately ¾ mile. This 290± acre lake is a very productive

rainbow and cutthroat trout fishery. There is a Wyoming Game & Fish Public Fishing Access easement on

approximately 2 acres of the property.

The homestead buildings sit on the highest point of elevation on the property overlooking East Allen Lake

and the Town of Medicine Bow to the north, Elk Mountain to the southwest, the Snowy Range and Medicine

Bow National Forest to the south and Como Ridge and Laramie Peak to the east. The Difficulty and Shirley

Mountains lie to the north of the property.

The Medicine Bow River meanders across the plains just south and east of the ranch and hunting on most of

the private ranch lands in the area is possible, with permission from the landowners. The closest farm is 3½

miles from the southern border of the property.

The elevation on the property ranges from 6,541’ at East Allen Lake to 6,768’ at its highest point. The

annual precipitation is 7” – 10”, according to the NRCS 30-year average. The area is classified as “Alpine

Desert” by climatologists.

The small historical Town of Medicine Bow lies just north of the property and the area is described on its

website (www.medicinebow.org) as “…. by no means barren … the land is shaped by the wind,

and the rolling hills have the shape of dunes, … striking, and awesome at the same time.”

Prairie wildflowers cover the hills in springtime and the nearby snow capped mountains offer a captivating

contrast.

Situated in the vast Laramie Plains, the SKS Ranch is located in the middle of the finest antelope and mule deer

habitat in Wyoming.

The buildings on the SKS Ranch are of outstanding quality, handcrafted in every detail and built for comfort and

ease of maintenance. The buildings were completed in 2001 with updates in 2009. The home and shop/garage

Wildlife & Recreation

The SKS Ranch is situated in the middle of arguably the finest antelope and mule deer habitat in Wyoming.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department manages three wildlife habitat areas in the vicinity -- the Medicine

Bow River Hunter Management Area is located adjacent to the southeast point of the property and offers over

20,000 acres of public and private property hunting; the Wick/Beumer Wildlife Habitat Management Area is

located approximately 12 miles to the south off the Medicine Bow-McFadden Road; and the Simpson Ridge

Hunter Management Area is just west of the SKS Ranch and encompasses public and private lands on five

ranches for a total of approximately 65,000 acres. Specific information regarding these Wyoming Game &

Fish Hunter Management areas can be found at http://gf.state.wy.us/wildlife/access.

Other hunting opportunities are available by obtaining permission from local ranchers.

East Allen Lake is stocked with cutthroat and rainbow trout each year and because of the naturally high

total of dissolved solids (TDS) in the lake, the trout prosper. The Game & Fish Department maintain an

easement to the lake through the SKS Ranch, which allows public access for recreation and fishing on the

lake. The local Lion’s Club has sponsored a Father’s Day Fishing Derby on the lake for many years.

Nearby, the North Platte River, Seminoe Reservoir, and numerous mountain streams also offer outstanding

fishing opportunities.
