Truscott River Ranch

Descriptions

Truscott River Ranch is an extraordinary property in the western portion of Texas, containing 4,750 acres of land for cattle and hunting. This magnificent territory runs along the North Wichita River in Foard County as it turns south and reaches into Knox County. The southern border of the ranch butts up the 1,600-acre Truscott Brine Lake, which is equipped with access to the lesser-known public hiking trails and fantastic fishing in the 100-acre fresh-water lake made by the Army Corp of Engineers. Fresh water is supplied by a rural water meter allocated to the hunting camp and a separate meter used for cattle water troughs. The land draws through three creeks that fill up the larger ponds and flow into the river, in addition to various ponds and stock tanks positioned throughout the acreage. Truscott River Ranch is a working cattle ranch with a hunting camp to aid in income. This ranch is part of a more significant offering, Blue Goose River Ranch, which has a total acreage of 7,750 acres.
