The Ross Creek Scenic Area is a 100 acre ancient grove of western red cedars located four miles off of Bull Lake Road / Highway 56 in south Lincoln County. Ross Creek Cedars is considered one of the “eight must-see attractions” in Lincoln County. The grove is situated in a modified temperate rain forest climate, which has allowed many of the cedars to grow up to twelve feet in diameter and one hundred seventyfive feet tall. Some are as much as five hundred years old and others, fallen and dead, have created a lush habitat for many plants and animals on the forest floor.

The Ross Creek Scenic Area includes a self-guided nature trail loop, just less than one mile in length, with informative signs about the history of the area and the local ecology. The loop is easy for families and wheelchair accessible. Ross Creek runs through the area and a picnic grove is available for public use. Wildlife at Ross Creek includes picas, flying squirrels, bats, and many species of birds and plants. There are no camping facilities at Ross Creek Scenic Area but Bad Medicine and Door Skeels campgrounds are located close by.
