Water: Runaway Ranch has an incredible amount of water! The property is watered by two earth tanks. Plus, Lake Bridgeport, Boons Creek and Willow Creek provide water to wildlife and livestock.

Please check with a local water well professional to make sure! Also, the city of Runaway Bay is in the process of expanding their water treatment facility, which will allow them to expand their co-op water lines. The project is expected to be complete around the end of 2020.

Improvements: There are no building improvements on the ranch, which allows you to create exactly what you want.

Fences: Fences are five-strand barbed wire on metal and cedar posts all in good to very good condition.

Hunting: Runaway Ranch is in the MLDP program, which allows you to better manage your deer herd. Wise County is a two buck county and has antler restrictions, but the MLDP program allows you to harvest the right animals in order to increase the health and quality of your animals.

According the local game warden, the Wise County area has a strong population of whitetail deer with very good genetics. Turkey and feral hog hunting are also very good. Lake Bridgeport also provides a haven for many waterfowl species. Local folklore has it that a Chupacabra was found near Runaway Bay, but this is likely just folklore.

Lake Bridgeport itself is known to have very good fishing for hybrid striped bass, crappie, largemouth bass and catfish.
