The lodge and grounds sits on top of a 200 foot bluff overlooking the beautiful south Llano River.  Approximately 700 individual springs empty about 20 million gallons of spring water a day into the river.

The ranch has three houses which provide comfortable accomodations for 30 guests.  The ranch and facilities offer 13,000 acres, including 5-1/2 miles of private river.

Deep Creek Hunting Ranch consists of 6,000 acres of prime wheat fields and rolling mesquite pastures. Spread out among the various properties are 31 stock tanks with bass, perch and catfish.

ANNUAL LEASES are available each year for parts of the ranch. If annual leases are full for this year, day hunting and lodging is still open.

The majority of our hunting acreage is in an area near the Brazos River. The countryside consists of rolling hills with large, thick mesquites, prickley pear and scattered fields of cultivation; creating the perfect habitat for elusive trophy white tail deer, Rio Grande turkey, Bob White quail and wild hog. Many ducks migrate into our area stock tanks (ponds) each winter. Bring a camera, fishing rod, bow or gun and enjoy the peaceful relaxing beauty of the countryside and nature.
