At the "Broken Spur Ranch" we have numerous small animals to delight your family. Our mission is to have animals that bring a smile to your face and a twinkle to the eye of a child. To that end we offer the "Broken Spur Ranch" for the enjoyment of all.
Please stop out and visit with the animals, they would be happy to see you.
The following are pictures that will give you an insight into what you will find at the "Broken Spur Ranch". A visit to the ranch would not be complete without taking a walk along the paths and catching a glimps of the magnificent falls that grace the property. Black Creek Falls flows down a gentle slope and creates a scenic atmosphere for your visit to the ranch. The falls are visible from the Petting Zoo area and a must stop location when you reach the "overlook".
The "Broken Spur Ranch" is the dream of SSG Kevin Lippincott, who is an active member of the US Army stationed at Ft. Drum. Kevin loves the North Country and wants to stay in this area after retirement from the Army. He loves animals and with his love of the land the dream of the "Broken Spur Ranch" began.
The name of the ranch came about with another of Kevin's hobbies. Kevin was a rodeo bull rider when he was not actively supporting his role as a soldier. Due to a run in with a bull during a rodeo Kevin was forced to retire from riding bulls, his injuries only stopped his riding but not his love of animals.
The "Broken Spur Ranch" was formed so that others could enjoy the land and animals that make up the farm. Please take a moment and see just what makes up the "Broken Spur Ranch".
Hi, my name is Kevin and along with my family we live here at the "Broken Spur Ranch".

The beauty of the land and waterfall is complemented by the animals that call the ranch home.
As with any
family our pets are our family. 
We have created a Pet Cemetery here at the ranch and make this service available to all our friends when the need arises. (Call for information.)
