With 2,000 acres of Montana’s most beautiful landscape, our guest ranch runs from the shores of Flathead Lake to the tops of the Rocky Mountains. Because our ranch is private, our guests have it all to themselves, with the vast majority open for horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking and exploring.

The lodge’s history is steeped in horses, from generations of cattle and bison ranching, packing and rodeoing around the West. Today, our riding program is one of the best and there’s no better way to explore Montana’s wild landscapes than on horseback.
The crystal-clear waters of Flathead Lake are the playground for guests of Flathead Lake Lodge. With our location on the shores of Flathead Lake, guests can easily enjoy sailing, lake cruises, stand-up paddleboarding, wakesurfing, canoeing, kayaking, fishing and lakeside campfires.
This isn’t your grandfather’s trail ride… top of the line bikes, miles and miles of single-track trails and experienced guides will take you on an adventure through our Montana mountain wilderness.
Here at the ranch, we’re all about relationships and experiences. With a friendly and trusted kids staff to help guide your children, we offer activities to engage and inspire children of all ages, including arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, laser tag, junior wrangler program, kid’s rodeo, mountain bike lessons, canoe races and more.
Northwest Montana is renowned for its recreational opportunities. If you’re looking for an off-the-ranch adventure, we’re happy to set you up with one of our trusted vendors for experiences that include guided fly-fishing on nearby rivers and streams, lake fishing, whitewater rafting, tours of Glacier National Park and golf.
There’s more to a dude ranch vacation than just horses. After you’ve explored our trails and enjoyed all that the ranch has to offer, fill out your vacation schedule with any number of on-ranch, all-inclusive activities we have to offer, including mountain biking, bucking barrel, basketball, tennis, trout ponds, beach volleyball and more.
While the lodge provides more than enough activities to make for an unforgettable week, there are many adventures available to you in the surrounding areas. Meander through the quaint downtown area of Bigfork, take your time sightseeing in Glacier National Park or hike through the wilderness in the Jewel Basin.
Known as the Backbone of the World and Crown of the Continent, Glacier National Park is renowned for its history, wildlife, scenic beauty and the Going-to-the-Sun Road. A beautiful 45 minutes from the lodge, the park offers hundreds of miles of hiking trails, sightseeing opportunities and guided tours on historic wooden boats and vintage red buses, as well as tours that share the perspective of the Blackfeet Tribe.
