Summary

[edit]
Description

A sunrise over the Oregon desert.

Deep in Lake County, on the edge of the Guano Creek Wilderness Study Area, you will find the Historic Shirk Ranch. The property was originally homesteaded during the initial settlement of Lake County in the early 1880s by the Hill family.

David L. Shirk purchased the property in 1883 and built most of the ranch's extant buildings and structures around 1910. A cattleman by trade, Shirk's main business at the ranch was said to be horses, and he had a reputation for the "finest horseflesh" in the whole county.

Today, the BLM Lakeview District is proud to manage the site.
