Bring your fishing pole…. in fact, there are so many trout, you probably only need a net or your bare hands! Nearly 900 (897 to be exact) trout were released into the Pagosa Springs portion of the San Juan River in the past 2 weeks.  Thanks to funding allocated by The Pagosa Springs, Colorado Tourism Committee as well as above and beyond private donations from local Pagosa businesses, the river is "chuck full" of Rainbow Trout ranging from  2 - 6 lbs.  See more details in this article posted today in the Durango Herald. 

If Fly Fishing, Trout Angling or just relaxing next to the river is where you want to be this summer, check out some of the great river front properties listed by The Pagosa Source located at 257 Pagosa St. in beautiful Pagosa Springs, Colorado.  As of today there are 14 river front properties listed in the Pagosa Springs Multiple Listing Service ( Pagosa MLS).   For Pagosa Springs luxury ranches and homesites see The Pagosa Collection or contact us directly at 970-264-7000

 Mill Creek Ranch is quite possibily the best ranch value in all of Colorado.

345 acres of pristine, historic, Rockie Mountain paradise in the quaint mountain community of Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Situated in the majestic San Juan Mountains of SW Colorado, this ranch has lush, irrigated mountain pastures perfect for grazing horses and cows with room left over for the herds of elk and deer that roam the ranch.  Aspen filled forests abound, tall ponderosa pines, a live creek, trout ponds, and spectacular views of the Continental Divide.  Four homes are currently built upon the ranch. The main residence is a large hill top log home featuring a true mountain fireplace in the great room, huge gourmet kitchen & large master suite. There are three additional homes for guests and staff as well as numerous outbuildings. One of the homes is set-up as a lodge perfect for large families, groups or an executive retreat. The San Juan National Forest borders Mill Creek Ranch. This ranch, steep with history, is just a quick 15 minute drive from the downtown area of Pagosa Springs where you will find small shops, gold medal trout fishing in the San Juan River, North America’s largest Hot Springs and a number of friendly small town restaurants. We invite your comments regrading Pagosa Springs and would especially love to hear from anyone who has memories of being on this ranch.  For more details on this ranch or to search the Pagosa Springs, Colorado MLS, click here or contact: Mike Heraty, The Pagosa Source, 970-264-7000, heraty@frontier.net
