Red Feather Ranch & Trails, Texas

Located on the banks of Salt Creek, the Red Feather Ranch offers a peaceful respite for hiking, off-grid camping and horseback riding. Although Salt Creek meanders through the ranch, for the bulk of the year the creek is dry with spring-fed pockets of clear, fresh water. The creek bed becomes a scenic trail. Large boulders and rock formations stand as silent guardians of time. The ranch boasts oak trees so large that two people standing with joined hands cannot touch fingers around the trunk of the tree. This secluded 133 acre ranch features many trails which climb in and out of Salt Creek. The ranch is surrounded on all sides by heavy forest. The Red Feather Ranch on Salt Creek offers opportunities for the intrepid hiker or rider with exciting and vigorous trails which crisscross in and out of the deep banks of the creek. For those wanting a more relaxing hike or horseback ride, they may hike or ride the level woodland trails or the creek bed itself. We offer day trips, hiking, off-grid camping, trails for horseback riding, horse camping, fishing, hunting fossils in the creek and archery. We keep deer blinds and stocked feeders so that guests may photograph wildlife. We also offer limited barnyard tours by appointment where guests may meet and feed our heritage breed Navajo-Churro sheep, our horses, chickens, cattle, and our Livestock Guardian Dogs. The ranch has two nice ponds stocked with bass and catfish. Bring your own pole or rent one. Although we offer tent camping in the forest, if guests want to bring their RV camper or living quarters horse trailer, space is available in the pasture near the south pond for set-up. At Red Feather Ranch, we open up our remote and secluded property to visitors seeking escape from the Rat Race where they can experience the raw beauty of nature and dip their toes into the pond of simple life on a farm with sheep, cattle, and horses.
