Bilby Ranch Lake Conservation Area is a public conservation area located in northwest Missouri, United States. The 5,111-acre (2,068 ha) conservation area was established in 1987 when the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) purchased a large tract of land that was once part of John S. Bilby' massive 26,000-acre ranch.
