Overview
Enjoy over 1 mile of the Michigan River, a hidden gem tucked away in the small town of Walden, Colorado in North Park. This property is surrounded by mountainous views. Rainbow and brown trout swim through the winding waters and take cover under the willows from the Golden and Bald Eagles. Trout range from 12-20″ inches so leave the small fly rod at home. There are plenty of accessible spots for younger anglers and people with mobility issues but there are also some heavily willowed areas on the riverbank. We love hitting these heavily willowed spots as that’s where bigger trout linger.
Please allow up to 2 business days for booking confirmations.
Lodging is also available at this property. There are two options. The Lakeview cottage (3-bedroom, 2 bath house within 60 yards of Colorado’s largest privately owned lake) costs $450/night + cleaning fee. The Little Moose Cottage (7-bedroom house 30 feet inland from the Lakeview Cottage) costs $400/night + cleaning fee. Lodging can be booked directly through property owners. If you’re interested, please let us know and we’ll put you in touch! : )

asked
questions.
How does it work and how much does it cost?
It’s simple. You just pay as you book. Anyone can book our locations! Property access starts at $125 per angler per day. Subscriptions aren’t required but Cutthroat subscribers enjoy perks like $25 off every booking and river reports for each trip. Spend more time on the water and let us worry about the rest!
Who are the landowners?
Landowners have at least 1/2 mile of river, stream or creek running through their property. Each property is vetted by RareWaters staff to ensure a premium fly fishing experience.
Where are the properties located?
Right now, we’re focused on the Western United States. But don’t worry, we plan to list properties in other states soon. Our goal is to provide you with new water access no matter where you’re traveling.
How do my fees impact conservation?
We offer subscriptions to all anglers. Subscriptions offer anglers discounted rod fees, priority booking and more. $25 of every subscription is donated to Trout Unlimited, our partners in conservation.
How do I know where to go after I book?
After we receive your payment, RareWaters sends anglers a detailed property map including directions and GPS coordinates. We strongly encourage all anglers to save the GPS coordinates into their smartphones before leaving cell service. Google Maps is our preferred app for directions.

August 1, 2021 at 2:59 amThis location is one of the most scenic locations you’ll find. Absolutely beautiful with mountains on all sides. We had a bald eagle fly over…and saw sign of moose everywhere.
Helpful Review 4Water was a bit low, as to be expected this year. Super clear as well. When the clouds came in, we saw a ton of activity with a dry-dropper setup. Everything we caught was on the dry. Nothing of size, but tons of small, native brown trout.
It was a great day in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend this location.
