ENjOY ThIS SpECIAL pLACE!This 2,600-acre natural area is linked to a network of public lands stretching from the eastern plains all the way to Rocky Mountain National Park. Protecting extensive wild spaces gives animals plenty of room to roam and lots of places to find food and shelter. Miles of
meadow and stunning views surround the shelter. This wheelchair-accessible destination is a
perfect spot for a family picnic.
BE WISE IN ThE WILDMountain lions, bears, bobcats, coyotes, and rattlesnakes all live here. Respect them — and give them plenty of space.
TAkE CARE . . .Horse hooves can damage the accessible-grade trail that leads to the shelter and cabin. Please use the horses-only trail. Enjoy the hogbacks from a distance. They’re unsafe to climb and erode easily.
USE YOUR BINOCULARSThis is a great place to watch wildlife! Bobcat Ridge is home to a wide variety of animals — some rare and unique. The area attracts lots of birds, and you can spot dozens of different butterflies during spring and summer.
David Rice (D.R.) Pulliam and his wife, Virginia (Ginny), were the previous owners of the Bobcat Ridge property. D.R. and Ginny visited the area often, enjoying the peaceful beauty of this land.
One year, as a birthday surprise for D.R., Ginny had a narrow dirt road built to Mahoney Park— one of the couple’s favorite spots. D.R. was so pleased with the new route, he immediately named it after his wife. Today, the Ginny and DR trails provide access to this beautiful spot. Separated uses on the trails are strictly enforced. Use an audible signal when approaching another visitor.
Take a trip back in time with a visit to the historic
log cabin.
