Travel Tips:

You will pass the town of Heeney and Green Mountain Reservoir. Just past MM 128, turn left onto Spring Creek Road (CR10). Follow the paved road over the Blue River and up the hill, where it turns into a gravel road. Follow this road until you see the Shadow Creek Ranch gate (approximately 3½ miles). It is approximately one mile from the gate to the lodge.
