Recreation

The property is in the Meadow Creek parcel of Phantom Canyon Ranches. Phantom Canyon Ranches (PCR) has over 7,600 acres located around Halligan Reservoir and the North Fork of the Cache La Poudre River. The PCR covenants limit the location and the number of buildings that can be erected, and control the activities that can be carried out on the land, in order to protect and preserve the environment, wildlife, natural beauty and historic context of the area. Property owners within a parcel can choose collectively to add further requirements.

The Meadow Creek parcel has 9 owner cabins and a 10th cabin designated for a caretaker. The location of the structures followed a cluster pattern, so the remainder of the almost 510 acres is undivided and open to hiking for all Meadow Creek owners. The Meadow Creek parcel owns an additional two building sites in the west end of the Jackson Park parcel, and therefore has access to Jackson Park's approximately 1000 acres. It also has a 2 1/2 mile border with a Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) wildlife protection area; the CPW area is open for public hiking May 1 - August 31. Phantom Canyon Ranches has two "commons" areas - the Halligan Common Lands around Halligan Reservoir, and the Canyon Common Lands which are on the North Fork, downstream of the Nature Conservancy Phantom Canyon Preserve. The common areas are open to all landowners within Phantom Canyon Ranches for hiking and for fishing. PCR landowners fish on Halligan Reservoir, and have access to the tailwaters below the Halligan dam. The sections of the North Fork within the PCR common areas are open only to PCR landowners.
