Plum Creek Canyon Ranch

Pack your hiking shoes and plan an adventure. You'll find 500 acres of exquisite, wooded canyons. The lush mix of oak, pine, and cedar on steep terrain is spectacular!
One of the most pristine, spring-fed streams in the world—Plum Creek—runs the length of the ranch. Small springs feed into the creek as it ripples through white, sandy banks. Expect to see wildlife: deer, turkey (Merriam’s and Rio Grande), sharp-tailed grouse, bald eagles, blue herons, prairie chickens, and a host of waterfowl, songbirds, and small animals call this home.
Sleep well—the night air is rich with pine and cedar. Wild turkeys roost in the trees. Overhead, the Milky Way is a spectacular canopy. The Sandhills is one of the few areas east of the Rocky Mountains free of city lights.
Try your hand at fly fishing, hunt for fossils, and listen to the murmur of pine trees that greeted the first pioneers. Pick a site for a family photo; we'll help you arrange a local photographer.
Above the canyon, the ranch includes nearly 1,000 acres of native grassland with species unique to the Nebraska Sandhills. The world-renowned Sandhills are the largest sand dune formation in the Western Hemisphere. The area was formed during the Pleistocene Epoch through a rare but perfect combination of water, wind, and sediment. Retreating waters deposited fine quartz sand, and the wind sculpted it into magnificent dunes. The fragile soil is now held in place by vegetation distinctive to the Sandhills.
Secluded RV, tent, and cabin sites are located near the canyon edge; all have creek access, beautiful views, native grass, and ample parking. Entry is accessible for larger RVs—the ranch is less than one mile off U.S. Highway 20.
Due to the 2025 Plum Creek Fire, we are not currently accepting reservations.
