Spaces designed for memory making

The east end of the Elk Lodge features Billiards and the ranch bar. It seems a century of happy history is contagious in this cozy nook of the ranch. Your group’s pool shark will surely feel at home.

In addition to the billiards and bar area, the great room of the Elk Lodge features a large river stone hearth, two sitting areas, a card table, and upright Steinway piano. The lodge is designed for larger indoor gatherings and meetings or as a collection of more intimate spaces. Tall tales and merrymaking encouraged.

The Pavilion is the communal center of the Smith Fork Ranch. This indoor/outdoor overlook seats up to 40 - but feels great organized for 20 with a dance floor. Our guests love the al fresco dining experience complete with the sound of the rushing river.

Before heading out for your activities, gather at The Roundup! The apparel and gear you need will await in your personalized locker.

We cannot think of a better way to start your day on the ranch than breakfast at the Bell, Smith Fork Ranch’s western diner. Pick a booth or the communal table and compare notes on the day ahead!

Our upper ranch area is the ultimate springboard into the National Forest trails, wildflower hunting ground, or picturesque venue for an unforgettable ranch extravaganza shindig.

Thanks to miles of private river, the Smith Fork Ranch offers multiple riverside destinations. These include venues proximate to Center Ranch like the picnic area pictured above, and others farther afield to be accessed by vehicle or horseback.

Wood fire cooking and ranching go hand in hand. We think the local fare of the North Fork Valley just tastes better out in the National Forest.

Here at the Smith Fork Ranch we love a great fire, S’mores, and fireside fun. Find multiple outdoor fire rings - some close and others farther afield. Your adirondack chair awaits.

The Smith Fork Ranch offers multiple pastures and vistas for personalized experience design. Surround yourself with eleven thousand foot peaks, a Needle Rock overlook, or a starry night. Miles of ranch and hundreds of acres of pastures at your service.

Swim, fish, lounge, or soak at the ranch’s largest river pond. The Trout Shack is the perfect spot to start an adventure - or to recover from one.

Head-on-up to the highest spot on Smith Fork Ranch for experiences from Yoga to sunset celebrations. Fill your soul with majestic 360 Rocky Mountain views.
