The Michigan Creek Fishing Preserve is a 120-acre property in Park County, seven miles south of the town of Jefferson along Michigan Creek near its confluence with Tarryall Creek. The property is located off the well-traveled CR 77 and features a scenic meadow, meandering creek, and jutted rock outcroppings. About 0.3 miles of Michigan Creek flow through the property, making it an excellent fishing location. It is adjacent to Pike National Forest to the north and BLM land to the south, creating an ideal wildlife corridor.
This property was donated to Western River Conservancy (WRC), a river ecosystems nonprofit, which partnered with COL to protect this parcel. WRC will now donate the land to Colorado Parks & Wildlife which will make the property a future State Wildlife Area, adding to the public benefit for all!
Project partners include Western Rivers Conservancy, Colorado Parks & Wildlife, the Park County Land and Water Trust Fund.
