CLARKS FORK CANYON MEADOWS
When it comes to idyllic western landscapes, Clarks Fork Canyon Meadows certainly fits the description. With 161± deeded acres plus 38± BLM leased acres at the base of the Absaroka Mountain Range, straddling the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River and at the mouth of the majestic canyon, Clarks Fork Canyon Meadows takes in one of the most breathtaking scenes in the west. The adage applies very well in this case – “The house is yet to be built, but the view and landscape are finished to perfection”.
Located approximately 38 road miles northwest of Cody, Wyoming, via Highway 120 and Canyon Road, the Property is extremely private. With a private bridge across the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River, the Property has a feeling of place and purpose. Cody, with a population of approximately 9,520, is a very historic and entertaining western town. This welcoming town has nightly rodeos from June 1 through August 31, a historic downtown lined with interesting shops and restaurants, the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, guiding services for whitewater rafting, hunting, hiking, fishing, backpacking, and rock climbing, and the logical resting spot before entering the east entrance of Yellowstone National Park.
Flight services into Cody’s Yellowstone Regional Airport are available with regular flights to Denver and Salt Lake City. The Billings Logan International Airport offers additional convenient flight services to more destinations.

Clarks Fork Canyon Meadows nestles against the base of the Beartooth Mountains of the Absaroka Mountain Range, straddling the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River, and is bordered by Wyoming State Land on the south and Bureau of Land Management land on the east and a portion of the north side. Nearby access up the Clarks Fork Canyon provides endless opportunities for hiking, hunting, fishing, floating, climbing, horseback riding, and other outdoor recreational pursuits.
Much of the land consists of sub-irrigated meadows and cottonwoods along the river and slopes upward toward the granite cliffs along the canyon walls. Worthy of note is the presence of the private bridge across the Clarks Fork River which is the main access route onto the Property. This bridge is one of few bridges across this wild river that ever will be constructed.
