SURFACE WATER & FISHERIES: The ranch features exceptional recreational surface water, which includes a ~7, 14, 20, and 128+- acre lake(s). These lakes are professionally managed and have produced some legendary East Texas Largemouth Bass. The largest bass caught at WOCR was a whopping 14.3 pounds and members routinely catch fish in the 6-10 pound range. Over ~7.8 miles of White Oak Creek runs west to east through the middle property along with ~2 miles of Cobb Jones Creek, ~1.4 miles of Campbell Creek, ~1 mile of Lick Creek, plus over ~23 miles of unnamed creeks and tributaries.

WILDLIFE & HUNTING: In terms of wildlife, the White Oak Creek Ranch has it all. The ranch has a history of healthy, low-fence whitetail genetics. The size of the ranch, topography, diversity, creek draws year-round live water, thick cover, over 40 managed food plots and feeders and upgraded box blinds all play a significant role in hunting success and deer management. Phenomenal native forbs/cover and habitat also provide a home for feral hogs and a growing population of Eastern Turkeys.

WATERFOWL: Flooded GREEN TIMBER!!! There are many unique amenities to WOCR, but the sheer size and quality of the managed flooded green timber is a site to see. Literally, thousands of mallards and other puddle ducks converge on WOCR each year, where numerous television shows have been filmed. Watching mallards fall into tight timber holes is only a dream for most waterfowlers but not at WOCR. The precision leveled wetlands consist of 8 units total over 580+ acres of managed flooded green hardwood timber, 70+ acres of managed planted wetlands, 60+ acres of natural/managed wetlands on the far west end of the ranch, and numerous oxbows along White Oak Creek. The property's water assets provide an unmatched duck hunting experience that rivals the best anywhere across Texas. Often compared to the legendary timber of Arkansas, there's a reason the folks at Mojo Outdoors describe White Oak Creek Ranch as their top hunting destination for mallards. The managed wetlands feature over 5 miles of levees and flood control structures that are designed to flood both wetlands and green timber on demand. The majority of the managed wetlands and timber are fed water by the 128-acre Romal Lake. No matter the rainfall, these managed wetlands can be flooded on demand. WOCR has obtained a rare and valuable permit enabling them to provide members/guests with an indescribable waterfowl experience. Perched at the center of one of the managed wetlands is the "Ultimate Duck Blind". Accessible via UTVs on a submerged graveled trail, the ultimate duck blind is something guests, kids, clients and members won't soon forget. The nostalgic duck blind was constructed to accommodate all types of waterfowl enthusiasts. With a wraparound covered, gravel-lined "porch", enclosed sitting area to get out of the weather, green lights for predawn visibility, propane cooking stove, and covered UTV parking all combine to make the ultimate waterfowl hunting experience in any hunting condition.

RANCH MANAGEMENT/HOME CARE: WOCR has been managed by the same onsite ranch manager for over 35 years. At WOCR, we are focused on maximizing your time enjoying family and friends.

KID/GRANDKID SECTION: What do you look forward to most in the summer months? Family trips? Summer Camp? Time with family and friends? What if you could have that every weekend at White Oak Creek Ranch? Well, you can! It's time to play in the mud, jump from the swimming platform or catch your first MONSTER BASS! Find your freedom, learn to shoot a bow, and test your skills at skeet. Kayaking on the lakes, paddle boating with your brother/sister, or mooing at the cows are a rite of passage to growing up. Sitting in a deer stand, going with Dad to the duck blind, and exploring miles of ATV trails are a perfect day in the woods to view wildlife. Along the way, catch crawfish on the creek and learn to drink coffee?! End with starting a campfire to roast marshmallows, find the Big Dipper in the sky and go to bed late just to get up early to do it all over again.
