The area is also recognized as a dark-sky region, making it ideal for star viewing and nighttime photography, with exceptionally low light pollution and clear views of the surrounding cliffs and mountains. ________________________________________ Bicknell Bottoms Wildlife Management Area Directly across the road lies the 670-acre Bicknell Bottoms WMA, renowned for its managed habitat, diverse bird species, and scenic waterways. Ducks, geese, pheasants, quail, and a variety of non-game birds are commonly observed throughout the area. Two waterways-Pine Creek and the Fremont River-flow through the bottoms, creating habitat that supports various trout species. A portion of the Fremont River in this area has been described as one of Utah's best 1-mile stretches of trophy trout water. ________________________________________ Income & Development Potential The existing STR unit allows a new owner to immediately generate revenue while completing the remaining two units. With utilities and groundwork already initiated, development time and cost can be reduced significantly. The zoning and layout create a streamlined pathway for scaling the operation into a multi-unit rental business. ________________________________________ Property Highlights Minutes from Capitol Reef National Park Existing all-electric STR provides immediate rental income Groundwork started for two additional STR units, each on its own 1+ acre lot Paved access along Bicknell Bottoms Road Large views of white and red rock cliffs, green valley bottom, and surrounding mountain ranges Direct access to Bicknell Bottoms Wildlife Management Area Ducks, geese, pheasants, quail, and diverse bird species observed in the region Blue-ribbon trout fishing opportunities on Pine Creek & the Fremont River Over 300 square miles of accessible public lands within minutes
