Some of the world's most magnificent natural attractions and recreational opportunities are at our doorstep. Hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, horseback riding, golf and tennis are close by, and the lodge is an ideal headquarters for touring Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.

We've designed our Lodge to be as comfortable and enjoyable for non-fishers, as for anglers. We will be delighted to arrange activities for you or your group.

We would be delighted to arrange these and any other activities for you:

Yellowstone National Park - Visiting Yellowstone National Park is one of our guests' favorite activities.  Only a 45 minute drive from the Lodge, the Park is a great place to spend a day - watching the bison, wolves, elk and other animals, taking in the spectacular scenery or exploring the geysers, hot springs and other unusual geologic features.  Short walks, longer hikes or driving tours are all great ways to see the Park.  You can go on your own, combine touring with some fishing with a fishing guide or go on a naturalist-led private tour that we can arrange for you.  If you've never seen Yellowstone or haven't been back since you were a kid, you should save a day for the Park.

Hiking - Outstanding hiking opportunities everywhere from Harriman Park (5 minutes from the Lodge) to Yellowstone Park (45 minutes) and many other trail systems in the nearby area.  Anything from easy strolls to all day hikes.

Horseback riding - Excellent horses and all levels of rides are available at three stables, the closest 5 minutes away at Harriman Park.

Tennis and golf - 18-hole championship course and country club in Rexburg.  Club and cart rentals available.  Scenic 9-hole course and four tennis courts at Island Park Village (20 minutes from the Lodge).  Club and racket rentals available.

Mountain biking - Excellent trail system 5 minutes away at Harriman Park.  The Lodge has mountain bikes for guests ­ please ask us for them.

Canoeing - The Henry's Fork from Big Springs to Mack's Inn is a National Water Trail with great scenery and wildlife or canoe from Harriman Park down the Henry's Fork to the Lodge.  Rentals available nearby.

Wildlife and birdwatching - Outstanding opportunities in Harriman Park and Wildlife Refuge, Yellowstone Park (45 minutes), Red Rock Wildlife Refuge (1 hour) and many other nearby areas.  Harriman Park and Red Rock Refuge are home to a major population of rare trumpeter swans.  Moose, otters, bald eagles, osprey, trumpeters and other wildlife are often seen right from the Lodge.

Reading - The Lodge has an excellent collection of fishing and regional books and a comfortable upstairs library and riverview deck for reading.
