Burleigh H. Murray Ranch Details

The perfect mix of history and nature, this park was once a sheep and cattle ranch that produced dairy and other milk products during the late 1800s. It is one of the last two remaining examples of an English Lake County Bank Barn, an architecture style using an unreinforced arched bridge that was initially used by the Romans. Besides visiting the barn, you will be able to go hiking around this 1,325-acre park. The trail winds through the rolling hills and down towards the Mills Creek, which is sheathed in a thick brush of nettles and poison oak (so make sure to stay on the trail).
