Other Activities at the Ranch
*(Scroll down to the bottom for details about skeet shooting and archery offered by Eagle Ridge Ranch for an additional charge.)
You'll be amazed at all the fun things you can do at Eagle Ridge Ranch! For an extra $10 per person*, you can add on water activities which include fishing, swimming in the pond, canoes, and paddleboards. Don't forget to bring a swimsuit and towel with you because you won't want to miss out on the rope swing and water trampoline!
(*No additional charge for the "Afternoon Family Special" or the "Ride, Play, Eat Package" - the activities are included for these rides.)
Fishing
What's better than fishing and riding horses on the same day? Having them both available at the same location! Spend part of your day riding horses at the ranch, and the rest of the day fishing. The fishing is catch and release. You can use a rod or a reel (ask about our loaner poles if you don't have your own). The best part about fishing on the ranch is that no fishing license is required on our private property!
Boating, Paddle Boats, and Canoes
The Eagle Ridge Ranch has several paddle boats, canoes, and rowe boats for guests who are looking for something more to do before or after their horse ride. Life jackets are provided (and required) at the ranch.
Picnic
Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy on the ranch after your horse ride, then spend the rest of the day boating or fishing on the water. There is a Subway restaurant just North of the ranch off Highway 20, or we also recommend stopping by Ernie's Deli on your way out of West Yellowstone.
Catching Toads and Frogs
Young children (and those young at heart) will love spending part of the day catching frogs, toads, and occasionally salamanders in the streams and ponds at the Eagle Ridge Ranch. Every child should have the opportunity to catch a frog themselves at some point in their life, and the ranch is an ideal habitat for such amphibians. And yes, we have modern bathrooms with hot water to wash your hands afterward. Don't forget to bring your swimsuit or a pair of shorts to wade in the water!
For an additional charge, Eagle Ridge Ranch offers Skeet Shooting and Archery. If you plan to do skeet shooting, it is helpful to call Susan at the Eagle Ridge Ranch that morning and give her a heads up - 208-558-0900. Details are as follows:
Archery-
10.00 Per bow with 4 arrows.
Replacement for lost or broken arrows is $10 each.
You can also bring your own bow- it is 10.00 to use Eagle Ridge Ranch's range.
There are 25 3D targets to shoot.
Clay Pigeon Shotgun Shooting
*To Shoot just a few:
$70 for 25 shells, thrower, guns, and clays
$25 for each additional boy of clays
*To Shoot More than a few:
$60 for the thrower and 100 clays. $30 per box of 25 shells.
You can shoot as much as you want with as many people as you want.
The thrower is electric and user-friendly.
Please note, if you are not sure you will want to do other things at the ranch or not, you can always add on the extra activities on the day of your ride. May is very cool still, and while fishing is fun in May, swimming is not! September tends to be on the cool side as well, and may be a little chilly to swim.
