Tamarack Ranch State Wildlife Area

While the Tamarack Ranch State Wildlife area features small ponds and wetlands, this site is primarily used for hunting (deer, rabbit, squirrel, pheasant, bobwhite quail, dove, waterfowl, and turkey).

Other recreation activities here include hiking, wildlife viewing, limited camping, and birding. This enormous and varied location is probably among the top ten state wildlife areas in Colorado, and certainly not a spot to be missed during the summertime. Northern Cardinal has been seen here, and White-throated and Harris's Sparrows are possible during the winter. Ring-necked Pheasant, Bell's Vireo, Yellow-breasted Chat, Blue Grosbeak, Field Sparrow (especially in the surrounding grassland), and Baltimore Oriole are possible during the breeding season.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds visitors to check current hunting, fishing, and land use regulations when planning to visit a State Wildlife Area. Refer to the Recreational Lands Brochure, as well as the Fishing and Hunting Regulation Brochures located on the Regulations Brochures Page.
