Hello Canada Creek! Dan and I (Diane) have a long
history with the Ranch. My parents, Bob and Maureen
McFarland were part of an archery club not far from
Canada Creek Ranch back in the 50’s and 60’s. They would
take their 7 children to CCR to look for deer and elk. In
the 1960’s they became members and built a cabin on
Dowsett trail. Over the years, we spent a great deal of
time on the ranch and created our most treasured
memories. Those great memories and good times continue
today with all our children and grandchildren.
After retirement, our parents made CCR their home, but
when our father passed away 10 years ago, our mother
moved down-state and their home became our cabin once
again. Our dear mother went to be with her Bobby on
October 8, 2018 and she left the cabin to her remaining
children.
Dan and I were members of CCR for about 20 years
throughout the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. We have recently
become members again and look forward to spending
even more time at CCR. We live in Elk Rapids, only 2
hours away, where we created a beautiful life, raised our
children and built our home in the woods. Dan has
recently retired from his tile setting business yet remains
as a volunteer on our fire department as Deputy Chief. I
am a retired Registered Nurse and am involved in various
volunteer activities.
We have a family of 15 including 3 grown children, their
spouses and 7 grandchildren. We love spending time at
Canada Creek Ranch as we all have a passion for nature,
with many fisher- men and women, bow and rifle
hunters, kayakers, boaters, hikers, bicyclists, campers and
explorers in the family. And of course, we all love looking
for elk and “deer herding turding” as we affectionately
call looking for deer.
See you on the Ranch! Dan and Diane
