Buck Creek / Ranger Creek

About 11 1/2 miles out of Greenwater on Hwy. 410. Turn right over narrow bridge just past a ‘horse sign’ and follow into camp about a thousand feet straight ahead or turn left and park along air strip. This map show’s from Sun Top to Nobel Nob, lots of riding and great for early winter rides.
