Directions: Turn onto Billig Lane from 144/Railroad Track Rd. You will drive down the lane for quite some time, pass through a gate, and turn left at the end of the lane and park near the barn. There will be a check in table where a board member will greet you. Billig lane is a gravel and dirt road, not paved. Please drive slowly.

To do: Explore the ranch, immerse yourself in nature and enjoy this beautiful spring! We will have maps available at check-in.

We ask that you keep your four-legged friends leashed for their safety and pack out any waste.
