In addition to the Madison, the Ranch is rich with creeks and ponds. On the south end of the property, Standard Creek has west slope cutthroat and brown trout, while on the north end, Horse Creek has west slope cutthroats, brown trout and a few brook trout and offers some very nice pools. Surrounded by dense willows, these streams are a hidden oasis of fish and small wildlife. The Spring, Beaver, Homestead, Fire and Nipmuck ponds are stocked with west slope cutthroat, while the shallow Smiling Moose pond has the most water fowl.

Sun West Ranch has joined the “Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers!” program to help raise public awareness about the threat of aquatic invasive species. More information about the “Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers!” program is available at the campaign website.
