The massive Black Hawk Ranch spans across 20,000 deeded acres, which are located in the northern convergence of the Book Cliffs and Wasatch Plateau Mountain Ranges. This massive private acreage ranch also controls access to thousands of additional acres of surrounding public lands. Live water flowing across the ranch includes 1.3 miles of the Price River, 2.0 miles of Willow Creek, 0.3 miles of Beaver Creek, and dozens of springs and numerous livestock and natural ponds. This diverse ranch ranges in elevation from 6,000 to over 9,500 feet, with vegetation including pine, aspen, oak, maple, cedar, and cottonwood trees. The east portion of the ranch is characterized by the wild, rugged, and breathtaking topography of the famed "Book Cliffs", while the west portion is a more traditional mountain and alpine landscape characteristic of the Wasatch Plateau Mountain Range. A 3,773 sq.ft. owner/hunting lodge is located in the northwestern portion of the ranch, and despite it being sited at over 9,200 feet in elevation, the lodge has good access on a mostly gravel road connecting to Highway 6. Water rights include 50 Shares of Price River Water Users Association (PRWU), along with over 100 individual water rights that are appurtenant to various streams and water sources found across the ranch. Zoning is a mix of M&G (Mining and Grazing) and WS (Water Shed) under Carbon County jurisdiction, and the ranch is currently grazed lightly by cattle in the summer to maintain the favorable greenbelt tax status. The Book Cliffs are renowned as some of the finest big game hunting in the west, and are considered by many as the most wild, authentic and untamed big game hunting region in the state of Utah. While the expansive landscapes of the Black Hawk Ranch are impressive in and of themselves, the big game hunting on the ranch is what truly sets it apart from other Utah ranches. The Wasatch Plateau Range and the Book Cliffs are two of the most popular hunting regions in the state, and the Black Hawk Ranch draws large numbers of wintering elk & deer onto the ranch between October and May, including hundreds of trophy bulls from two surrounding limited entry elk hunting units. The Black Hawk Ranch is a registered CWMU (Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit) in good standing for both bull elk and buck deer, and is allocated 9 private landowner bull elk tags (with 1-2 to the public), and 8 private buck deer tags (with 1-2 to the public) annually by the Utah Division of Wildlife. The tags can be used within the boundaries of the 20,000 acre Blackhawk CWMU, with the bull elk hunting allowed between September 1st and November 30th, which is a hunting season that runs much longer and later than other CWMUs in Utah. Average B&C scores for the bull elk harvested on the ranch are amongst the very best in Utah. Buck deer hunting is allowed between September 11 and November 10, and trophy quality of the deer harvested on the ranch is also very high. The ranch also offers incredible hunting for trophy sized black bears and mountain lions, along with turkeys, upland birds, and waterfowl.
