Where to Find this Hunting and Fishing Paradise

The early settlers of our land were bred in hard work. They were gold prospectors, swinging pickaxes in search of precious metals. They were tie hacks, chopping away at beautifully-aged timber rooted along Medicine Bow’s rustic slopes. It’s this spirit of hard work we’re known for at French Creek Sportsmen’s Club, and it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s for adventurers, thrill-seekers, and conquerors.

World-class cuisine and accommodations can now be found here. Admittedly, we have a leg-up on the early settlers when it comes to this, unless, that is, you were a member of the historic Cheyenne Club.

But why is French Creek Sportsmen’s Club specifically a sporting paradise? It could have catered to a host of other audiences. Why gear this ranch to hunters, shooting enthusiasts, and anglers?

The answer is rooted in Brush Creek Ranch’s values of legacy, heritage, and tradition. It all comes down to history. The preservation of the western way of life.

The Land Chuck & Millie Settled On

In the 1900s, Chuck Sanger and his bride Millie built their homes on the banks of French Creek Ranch, and opened a remarkable hunting and fishing lodge. It drew in the likes of Wall Street “tycoons” and even His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. Think of it as the modern equivalent of social media influencers flocking to the hottest, most relevant resort. Like Brush Creek Ranch.

Fast forward to 2016, and the ranch we now know as French Creek Sportsmen’s Club is purchased by the White family. A ranch with the same vibrant mission still coursing in its veins.

Cast Your Line

The Snowy Mountain and Sierra Madre ranges in Southern Wyoming add to the quality of our hunting and fishing adventures. Their snowmelt feeds the North Platte River and its tributaries Encampment River, French Creek, Brush Creek, which provides an optimal ecosystem for thousands of Brown and Rainbow Trout. Come summer and fall, prolific aquatic insect hatches, such as Green Drake and Trico, make for some of the best fly-fishing in North America. Over 20 miles of exclusive private water across 30,000 acres of ranch land— all accessible via wade and float options while using our top-of-the-line Orvis-endorsed gear.
