Activities include
10 miles of trails on which to hike, bike , ride (bring your own bike
or horse), or rent a golf cart on site. The trail in
the woods along the Missouri River is on the Lewis & Clark Trail,
where you can view the beautiful scenery of the badlands and come
across abundant wildlife including nesting eagles. We also have a trail
to a national historic place called High Butte Effigy - Turf Cut Turtle
Effigy. This is a very rare Native American site. Our third trail takes
you to a state archeological village site of the early Woodland Indian
era, a view that George Catlin painted in 1831 after the Lewis &
Clark Expedition, and a buffalo jump. Further on this trail you can
view the upper badland formations and enjoy the abundant wildlife. We
offer horse boarding for those who would like to bring their own horses.
Our boat dock on the Missouri River will enable you to enjoy fishing,
boating, or sunning on our private sandy beach. The quiet starlit
evenings at our secluded ranch will allow you to relax and breathe the
clean air that North Dakota is known for. For those interested in bird watching, we have five different habitat
zones which include waterways, prairie, river bottoms, hills, and butte
areas. The ranch has several eagle nesting sites for viewing the golden
and bald eagles. Some of the other birds to view are Mourning Dove,
Western & Eastern Kingbird, Lazuli Bunting, Indigo Bunting,
Swainsons Hawk, Red-Tailed Hawk, Red Headed Woodpecker, Hairy
Woodpecker, Gold Finch, Yellow Throated Warbler, Cedar Wax Wings, Sand
Piper, American Kestrel, Great Crested Flycatcher, and many, many more!
Hunters can enjoy hunting with both bow and gun at our lodge, with fine
hunting for geese, pheasants, wild turkey, whitetail deer and ducks.
Special hunting packages are available.
