Laf ranch

Very private with plenty of varied terrain for hiking swimming, tubing, biking or just hanging out in a hammock enjoying the breeze and peace and quiet.

NO FISHING

As our topo map shows we have a wide variety of terrain ranging from steep cliffs with huge views to shady canyons. The river cuts through the middle of the place and is surrounded by four hills that each have their unique characteristics ranging from flat oak-covered to rocky steep ridges. I guarantee you will find beauty all around.

We do have a couple of fun areas to try your 4-wheel drive out. Please dont make your own....stay on trails.

There are plenty of places to swim. When the Ladder is reserved, you may not swim there. Please be respectful.

We have 1.5  miles of both sides of the river so plenty of places to swim. It varies a lot in depth and width over the ranch.

Every camp spot has access to all the swimming holes except the ladder when it is booked. The main swimming holes are--

1. Below the Green Cabin

2. Another my brother likes that has a cypress tree submerged you can sit on he calls the 1000 waterfalls

3.  big pond
