In terms of elevation, the Grand Meadow Pond sits at about 400' above sea level, and about 1/3 of the way up the 1,000 acre ranch.  The Grand Meadow Pond is beautiful in any light.  These photos were taken in evening light, with just the distant peaks in sunshine.

At any time of day a visit to the pond will reveal ducks and other waterfowl, insects, hatch, reeds, lilies, berries (or at least their bushes) and wonderful views into the distance, both down and up river.  

Frequently you will see either deer or Roosevelt Elk browsing in the Grand Meadow, and occasionally other animals.  This photographer spotted a mountain lion (Cougar) racing away about 6 months ago.  Bear and Bobcat have both been observed on the ranch in recent months.

Come to Winter Springs Ranch and enjoy the Grand Meadow.
