Continue another 5.5 miles to Lone Mound Ranch, entrances will be on the left (East). Landmarks: About a mile before the ranch, you will see two cellphone towers on each side of the road.

BUNKHOUSE DIRECTIONS To get to your cabin you will go in entrance 1 follow the driveway east 1/2 mile (staying left at the fork in the road). The driveway will bring you to the barnyard gate but DO NOT go in the gate. Instead take a sharp left and go around the outside of the fence.

Our gates are equipped with chains and snaps for secure closure.
