<h2>Nature’s treasures can be found at Blackwater Creek Ranch</h2>
<p>Welcome to Blackwater Creek Ranch, where members and friends come together for an escape from everyday life. From private, organized hunts and group celebrations to fishing and zip lining, Blackwater encompasses a variety of outdoor activities. Here, beauty radiates from the plant and wildlife that flourishes across the 1180-acre property but is most importantly found in the camaraderie and experiences offered.</p>
<p>The property is not solely made up of winding creeks, lush meadows and abundant wildlife. It is a place where nature and people find common ground, creating a community that thrives on the concept of sharing. A place where quiet thoughts and roaring laughter are shared around a fire pit, where the forests and lakes are shared with deer and fish. It is this fundamental theme that acts as the cornerstone of the property and it is why we want to share Blackwater Creek Ranch with you.</p>
<p>The amazing diversity of Florida’s plant and wildlife can be found throughout Blackwater Creek Ranch – gentle breezes, tall pines, and ancient oak hammocks. The property is dotted with bald cypress heads and abundant Florida wildlife. The Southern portion of the property includes all facilities and gathering areas. The Northern end of the property is graced by the Blue Cypress Creek and its surrounding native creek bottom. This winding waterway is stained by the dark tannins of cypress and other native creek canopy giving the water the look of dark brewed tea, often referred to by locals as “blackwater”. Blackwater Creek Ranch is home to white tail deer, Florida Osceola Turkey, wild hogs, quail, squirrel, bobcat and even alligator.</p>

<h2>Enjoy Florida’s Finest in Nature</h2>
<p>The Blackwater Creek Ranch is a beautiful 1180 acre ranch surrounded by the natural beauty of Old Florida. Native woods and windows to adjacent fields surround the Lodge facility and its guests. Perfect for a southern style wedding reception, corporate event or family reunion, the Lodge is nestled in an Oak Hammock in the center of the property. The Lodge, better described as the heart of the property, is the central housing and entertainment area for members and guests. The Lodge features a large eating and social great room with fireplace, separate gun room and adjacent stone fire pit. Lodge accommodations include four upstairs bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, and adjacent bunk cabins for overnight stays. Porches and large French door windows engage the senses with outdoor vistas that change at every turn.</p>
<p>Hunting, camping, quiet fireside chats, nature walks, fishing and buggy rides are enjoyed weekly by owners, members and guests. The ranch property is tucked away on a private and secluded property 20 miles west of Vero Beach on Florida’s Treasure Coast. The ranch maintains its privacy and elegance, hosting only a handful of events a year. When looking for a unique wedding venue, reception, corporate event or family reunion, consider escaping to Blackwater Creek Ranch.</p>

<h2>An outdoor paradise on the Treasure Coast</h2>
<p>Situated among acres of old Florida wilderness, the Blue Cypress Hunting Club has been in existence for more than 40 years. The club leases the Blackwater Ranch property together with 3500 acres of adjacent property to create a 4600 acre private hunting paradise for a small group of private hunting members. The property is managed with annual tree plantings, burns and mowing to enhance native features and supplemented by feeders and food plots to supply additional forage during all four of nature’s seasons. Winged bird hunting has become an annual mainstay of Blackwater Creek Ranch in the last five years. Guided quail hunts occur weekly during season and dove hunts are held on two dove fields located adjacent to the Blackwater fishing lake. Dove hunts are social affairs enjoyed by hunters and non-hunters usually beginning with BBQ and sporting clays competition followed by fast shooting action in the field. Well-appointed hunt club facilities allow club members to enjoy campfires and hunting tall tales as much their time in the woods. The Blue Cypress Hunting Club has been satisfying novice and expert hunters for trophy game for decades.</p>
<p>While Blackwater Creek Ranch naturally started with a focus on hunting, the ranch and its activities have now evolved to focus more on fellowship, sharing and creating memories. Members and guests spend much of their time on non-hunting outdoor activities. The stocked lake is up to 25 feet deep and includes a floating swim dock and dueling zip lines. The lake is a frequent cooling off zone in the summer and bass catching haven in the spring. The buggy barn area includes a Five Stand sporting clays with 10 to 12 stations, and flurry competition stand for bigger events. Understated paths and ranch roads lead to creeks, ponds, oak hammocks and wildlife watching areas. The ranch annually hosts a youth mission trip group to provide a retreat weekend for spiritual growth prior to embarking on their annual project. Blackwater’s creek is actually navigable most of the year taking paddlers past creek banks full of ferns, cypress, wild orchids and overhanging limbs. Blackwater Creek Ranch gives everyone an opportunity to invigorate the body and quiet the soul.</p>

<p>Thank you great and wonderful God for your many wonders and many blessings. Thank you for nature and natural beauty, wide open spaces and fresh air, sunrises and sunsets, wild birds and animals, creeks and oaks, flowers and fields and the glimpses of Your glory reflected in all of Blackwater Ranch. We thank you for Blackwater Ranch and giving us the opportunity and joy of enjoying it and sharing it with others.</p>
<p>Lord we pray that Blackwater Ranch can bring peace to our souls, refreshment to our Spirits and more closeness to you. We pray that You bless Blackwater Ranch and make it abound with natural wild game and fish and natural beauty. We also pray You bless all who come to Blackwater Ranch. We pray that Blackwater Ranch provides a place to share in companionship, fun, camaraderie, encouragement and spiritual growth to all who enter its gates. We pray that we and our family, friends, guests and participants will come to know You better and be filled with Your Spirit while at Blackwater.</p>
<p>We pray that all who enjoy Blackwater Ranch will show respect to You, to nature, to our facilities and to each other. We thank you for the opportunity to enjoy such a wonderful and special place and we ask for your guidance and protection while we are here. Please keep us safe from harm and in your care.</p>
