Activities On and Off the Ranch!

The Perfect East Texas Getaway to Relax or Engage in Fun Outdoor Activities

The Ranch is home to two “John Houck Designed” Championship 18 hole disc golf courses.

Selah Ranch is the perfect East Texas getaway to relax or engage in fun outdoor activities. We have bocce, horseshoes, pro style basketball goal (even for the little fellows), volleyball in the front yard for midnight or earlier games, board games, bicycles, and miles of hiking and biking trails. You can also do some local antiquing near our ranch just outside Dallas.

Selah Ranch has multiple fishing lakes. The lakes are stocked with Largemouth Bass, Crappie, and Channel Catfish. Bass have been taken up to 8 pounds, Crappie up to 3.5 pounds and Channel Cat up to 5.5 pounds. These varieties are the most popular fish to catch, and while most fishing is done on a catch and release basis, anyone is allowed to keep their catch. Learn More

Shooting Tournament

A fun, safe and competitive environment!

Selah Ranch has different types of trap machines allowing several people to shoot in rounds in a group setting. This allows shooters to hone their skills, and creates a fun and competitive atmosphere in which all levels of ability can participate. With safety being our prime objective, our ranch near Dallas provides a range master and one assistant for groups, as well as all equipment needed. Learn More
