Guest access
All guests are welcome to navigate the open grounds and trails both on and off the property. The upper meadow is a great place to let the dogs play fetch and kids blow off steam.

Neighborhood highlights
Tired Dog Ranch is the last property on the east end of LaDuke Rd before it turns to national forest and after you pass over Gray Creek bridge (driveway to the right). The "South Bank" forest service road that continues east from LaDuke Rd. stretches to Larison Rock trail, Greenwaters Park and to Kitson Springs Rd. that would take you to Hills Creek reservoir with awesome tributaries and trails to explore like CT Beach! Surrounding the Ranch is untamed second and old growth forestland so I enjoy the quiet and privacy. The Willamette River is nearby with public access 1-1/2 miles to the east off the FS road, and the moonlit skies at night in the upper meadow are breathtaking. Within the borders of this 18+ acre parcel are trails, a creek, hammocks to laze away the day and critters to engage with. There are two Spanish mustang horses (Lydia and Margarita) and one mustang draft (Phileus Maximus Femoris), and mini mule (One Eyed Sarah) and Tidbit the resident sheep.The free range chickens, a few cats and dogs are also part of the farm life here at TDR. There is a trail down to Gray Creek behind the Celestial Yurt and behind the Artist's Long House, or you can access the water front from a spot off the public road to the east of the bridge.
