Activities you can enjoy for free at Starry Creek Ranch
Hiking: Put on your boots and hit the trail to enjoy some day hiking in our gorgeous 95 acre private park. Follow the path or veer off to explore the rambling creek. Be sure to save time to find the grandest destination of all - our hidden Indian Cavern.
Fishing: Enjoy catch and release fishing in our small pond. It doesn't matter if you're an experienced angler or not, our fishing hole is waiting for you. Use the gear in our "gone fishing" hut or bring your own.
Creek Exploration: "There's crickets and tadpoles, turtles and frogs, down by the creek bank by the old holler log." Creeks are magical places. Being immersed in a place teaming with life changes you. Skip a few rocks and let the fresh air, cool water, and warm sunshine invigorate your soul.
Swim, relax by pool: The panoramic view from our pool makes you feel like you're on top of the world. Surrounded by the big Texas sky with the lush green valley below, don't be surprised if it takes your breath away.
Indian Cavern Exploration: Our private Indian Cavern awaits those who are adventurous enough to find it. Don't give up. It's worth the effort. Follow the hand drawn map in the ranch house to help you find your way.
Bird Watching: The Starry Creek Ranch is teaming with birds. Help us expand our data base by telling us about your sightings. Take a picture if you're not sure, and we'll be glad to help.
Stargazing: We don't call ourselves the Starry Creek Ranch for nothing. The stars are so incredibly big and bright out here that you'll get lost in the wonder of it all. Don't try to count them because it's an impossible endeavor. Just take it all in and savor every moment.
Feed the Cows: Our Dexter cattle are the friendliest cows ever. An ancient endangered breed that originated in southern Ireland, they are sturdy dual-purpose miniatures. Take time to get to know them and you'll be charmed by their sweet dispositions, steady temperaments, and keen intelligence. ​
Photo Scavenger Hunt: Have some fun by taking pictures of all the cool things you are seeing and doing at the Starry Creek Ranch. If you manage to take a photograph of everything on our list, we'll reward you with a special surprise.
Indoor Games: Pool tournament anyone? Billiards, chess, darts, and a wide variety of board games will keep you busy when you have to be inside. Our spacious game room makes every game a festive occasion.
Outdoor Games: Our outdoor games bring back memories of a simpler time. There's plenty of outdoor space to rediscover kickball, horseshoes, croquet, badminton, and more.
Fire-pit: Whether fireflies are flickering or cooler temperatures fill the air, our rustic fire pit is the perfect place to end a dreamy day. Enjoy S'mores, songs, storytelling, or peace and quiet as the dancing fire gradually replaces the sunset that has been parading across the sky.
