Who We Are

Willowdale Ranch is rising from the ashes of the historic “Cow Camp” ranch that it once was. Founded pre-civil war, we are bringing back the story this property once told.

As the gateway to the highland lakes and the mountain trail network, we are sitting on the site where the original halfway trading post once stood between the Ashland and Rouge River Tribes and the Klamath Tribe. As the trading grew, all tribes welcomed settlers to participate in these enterprises.

OUR MISSION is to restore this ranch in an effort to preserve a disappearing culture. We are restoring the legacy of life to the frontier horse, horsemanship, and the natural beauty once enjoyed by the Oregon Territories Settler.

Within this mission, is our Equine Therapy for PTSD suffering individuals given free of charge. Our HIGHLAND LAKES CENTER which educates on the fragile ecosystem in danger of disappearing, and our weekend retreats for local nature, and wildlife groups.
