Directions to the Ranch:

  • Starting Point: J&D Marathon on Jefferson

  • Route: Drive west for 8/10 mile on Jefferson. Continue straight past the curve for Finley Lake Rd. to Pine Street. Turn left on Pine Street and follow the left fork to Bungo Lake Rd. If you reach where the the pavement end on Jefferson, turn and ang go back to Pine Street. Follow Bungo Lake Rd. to the bend where it becomes Oak Street. Look for the open gate with a forestry management sign and follow the two-track through the grassy staging area to the pavilion and port-a-john.

  • Parking: Available near the pavilion and port-a-john with a short walk to the lake.

  • Note: Cell service is limited around the lake.

A special thank you goes to Matt McPhall and Randy Schuldt for their invaluable help alongside Lee Schunk in setting up the dock. Their hard work made this substantial task achievable. Lee also cleared areas for the pavilions and ensured sufficient parking spaces near the lake.
