What a great place for a picnic and to walk the historic property! Right next to the John Day River and fossil Beds. The paleontologist center is just across the street. Highly recommend!

Very informative and really interesting with great views outside.

We had read a Facebook post stating that the last open day of the season would be on 10/1/23. We rearranged our travel plans to make sure we could visit, but when we arrived, it was closed. There is no explanation as to why. Others arrived feeling frustrated, too. The good thing was that you could still walk around the property and down to the John Day River if the house is closed. Great area to picnic.

Blew a tire 1/4 mile away while traveling by motorcycle , no cell service for many miles in any direction on my 51st birthday/ saterday at 5:30 pm, amazingly I was able to send out a text message to my family in bend who magicly appeared 6 hours later to rescue us . The place offered delicious apples and pears for dinner and a beautiful sunset. The only photos I got was the strange device across the road and the nice 3 point buck that came for the fruit buffet

Welcoming and knowledgeable staff! It was a pleasant surprise. How wonderful that the National Parks preserves this special place.

So nice to take a beautiful drive thru the Ochoco National Forest, then stop and explore the fascinating Cant Ranch, bring lunch, take a rest, then drive home. Makes for a great day long adventure. Not crowded. While there, read about the historic Cant family and try to imagine what it would have been like to keep it all going. Amazing!! Only downside: No restrooms! The porta-potties that are usually there have been removed. Hopefully they'll return soon!!!!

This historic site was so much fun. Lots to see and well maintained. Got to pick fruit from some of the trees and the ranger was beyond knowledgeable about the home.

Very cool place and informative. First there were the plateau people, then horses, then Cant and sheep, World War I, a boom of wool demand, then synthetic fibers, a decrease of wool demand, and Cant brought in cattle instead. And much more.
