Crooked River Ranch is located in Central Oregon between the Deschutes and Crooked Rivers with breathtaking mountain and gorge views.

Recreational opportunites abound ranging from golfing on the Crooked River Ranch 18-hole PGA golf course, fishing the countless lakes, rivers and streams to world class rock climbing, hiking, biking, tennis, swimming, horseback riding, and snow skiing on Mt. Bachelor.

Of course, you can also just relax, enjoy the wildlife and soak in the sun with the Central Oregon area offering more than 300 days of sunshine annually.

Today, the Crooked River Ranch Club & Maintenance Association is the largest homeowners' association in Oregon with 2,639 property owners, and a rapidly growing population of more than 5,000.

At the turn of the 20th century, a Texas oil man named Gates purchased the ranch property from homesteaders forming what became known as the "Gates Ranch" encompassing a total of 12,000 acres (4,856 hectares). The main ranch house was built in 1916, and in 1997 the Ranch House was leased to the Crooked River Ranch Seniors Group to be used as a community center. The original Ranch House, can be viewed today at the end Horny Hollow Road.
