Otter Creek Ranch

The award-winning Otter Creek Ranch is located 24 miles north of Ogallala, Nebraska, in the southern Sandhills. The ranch consists of 15,117+/- deeded acres and is situated near the north shore of Nebraska’s largest reservoir, Lake McConaughy. The ranch has two sets of improvements, which are highlighted by Otter Creek, which originates on the ranch from cold water springs and meanders over two and a half miles through the ranch. The creek is one of only a few cold-water spring-fed gravel bottom creeks in Nebraska that can support a healthy trout fishery. The ranch is primarily Sandhills native rangeland and utilized as a summer range for over 1,000 head of cows while still maintaining superior range conditions. Otter Creek has won numerous awards for its management and stewardship over the years, which is evidenced by the quality of native rangeland and ownership pride. The Sandhills, along with the Otter Creek drainage, provide excellent wildlife habitat throughout the ranch.
