Notes from the landowner

Enjoy over 2 miles of the Michigan River,  Moose Rive Ranch, a hidden gem tucked away about 10 miles to the east of the small town of Walden, Colorado in North Park Colorado. This property is surrounded by expansive, breathtaking mountain views. Rainbow and brown trout swim through the winding waters and take cover under the willows from the Golden and Bald Eagles. Trout range from 6-20+” inches so leave the small fly rod at home and be ready for anything. There are plenty of accessible spots for younger anglers and people with mobility issues but there are also some heavily willowed areas on the riverbank. We love hitting these heavily willowed spots as that’s where bigger trout linger. Finally, the property has just under a mile of lakefrontage to the fabled Meadow Creek Reservoir.

Infinite Outdoors is primarily dedicated to DIY Hunting and Angling, it is the angler's responsibility to be aware of weather, water flow, and river conditions.

In such cases, it is the angler's responsibility to check all local rules, regulations, and closures before fishing. Please review the Fishing Information tab for details that may assist in planning your trip.

For properties listed as "Community Adventures" there is the possibility that a limited number of other anglers can be on the property at the same time. Just a heads up, some of our spots have other leases that might have anglers casting their lines too. So, hit 'request to book' and we'll make sure to confirm the availability before you pack your gear!
We think it's important to mentor the next generation of anglers. Youth between the ages of 13 and 17 are 50% off for all fishing and small game when you reserve on the Infinite Outdoors app. However, kids 13-17 will need to have an Infinite Outdoors Membership. Youth 12 and under are free and do not need a membership but must follow all property rules.
No, most of our property listings are available to Infinite Outdoors Members without a pass. If you plan on fishing on a regular basis talk to our support team and see if a pass might make sense.

We can't guarantee you'll catch fish every time—fishing always comes with a bit of unpredictability due to factors like weather and fish behavior. However, we do everything we can to boost your chances! We offer information on local fly shops so you can get the best tips and gear recommendations. As for the size of the fish, it really depends on where you're fishing. We aim to connect you with spots where you have a good shot at landing some great catches, but it's all part of the Do-It-Yourself fly fishing adventure!

Nearly impossible to find any access on the river due to the brush on both sides of the tiny river for miles. Any fish caught were less than 6". Very disappointing.

Great property and the river looked fishable for clarity even though it was really pumping a lot of water at peak runoff. The trouble was getting anywhere near the river with all of the willows, and more specifically how flooded out it was in the willows surrounding the river. Kinda need to be able to make your way up the river bed to fish through the willows and at this flow that's not possible. Maybe by mid July....

It was a nice day for fishing. Unfortunately, no fish. This place is all willows so be prepared for that. We only fished for 3 hours because of all of the willows and zero fish. I would not book this place again.
