An easy cure for the summertime blues...

June through September, horseback riding is king at Coulter Lake. There are miles of trails throughout the White River National Forest, which provide outstanding views of mountains, valleys, lakes, and canyons.

The Rocky Mountains as your playground...

We offer scenic rides for novice riders through more challenging rides for the more experienced rider. The "do's and don'ts" of good horsemanship will be taught to all guests to ensure the enjoyment and safety of every rider.

Guests can enjoy up to two rides per day with use of the same horse throughout their stay. Beginning riders are offered lessons on basic horse handling and operation. A wrangler leads each trail ride, which is grouped according to skill level.

Special attention is paid to our children's riding program. Children must be six or older to go out on our trail rides.

Hiking enthusiasts can step out of their cabin and take off in any direction. Rifle Mountain Park offers a beautiful canyon trail along Rifle Creek where you may catch a glimpse of rock climbers, or take the Riparian Zone trail down to Rifle Falls.

For the sport fisherman, we keep our beautiful spring-fed lake well stocked with rainbow trout. There are small boats for your use, or fish right from the banks.

We can provide basic fishing equipment, perfect for the kids and beginners, or bring your own gear.

Stream fishing for rainbow and brook trout can be found in nearby Rifle Creek (license is required).
