Explore the area dubbed “the most scenic 50 miles in the U.S.” by Teddy Roosevelt during three or six-night stays at Blackwater Creek Ranch. Along the banks of the scenic Shoshone River and its namesake Blackwater Creek, the ranch is nestled in the mountains of Shoshone National Forest just 15 miles east of Yellowstone National Park. Your all-inclusive stay will include all meals, ranch activities, and amenities, plus off-ranch excursions to get a taste of Yellowstone Country.
Blackwater Creek Ranch is located outside of Cody, Wyoming, set in the natural beauty of Shoshone National Forest, just minutes from Yellowstone National Park’s East Entrance. The ranch was permitted as a tourist camp in the early 1900s and is one of the oldest ranches on the North Fork of the Shoshone River. Since 1915, the location has made this a premiere vacation destination for guests from all over the world.
Classic dude ranch adventures await: horseback riding in the Wyoming wilderness, archery, sport shooting, and hiking. You’ll have access to fish the local waterways: the Shoshone River and Blackwater Creek.
