Horseback Riding
Our horses are experienced dude ranch horses. To ensure safety and an enjoyable ride, horses and riders are matched according to the rider's experience and ability. Tacking-up demos and basic riding lessons are available for riders. Children must be six years old with adequate skill level to participate in horseback riding. Skill level is subject to approval by the wrangler. If you or your child would like a helmet, we suggest that you bring your own. A proper fitting helmet is paramount to safety.

Mountain Biking
Mountain bike enthusiasts love this area for the availability of trails and roadways. There are roadways which are closed to motorized vehicles making them ideal for mountain biking. Mountain bide rentals are available at the ranch. For your own safety, we suggest you bring your own helmet.

Hiking and Guided Hikes
The Bull River Guest Ranch is nestled in the Rocky Mountains. Hiking trails are abundant. Some guests prefer to hike on their own others prefer a guided hike – your choice.

River Rafting
We can arrange this on your behalf. Call for more information.

Fishing
Murray/Mirror Lake can be reached by hiking about 25 minutes from the ranch. Once you're there you'll see why it's called Mirror Lake . Make sure you pick up a fishing license on your way through Cranbrook . The fish are always biting there! We can also arrange for guided fly-fishing trips.

Golfing
There are several championship golf courses nearby for golf enthusiasts. We would be happy to book tee times for you.

Helicopter Sightseeing Tours
We can arrange for Wildwater Heli-Tours to take you on the sightseeing tour of a lifetime. We can speak from experience – a helicopter tour of the area is absolutely incredible. Five minute drive from the ranch.

Manitoba´s Parkland Region

Among the few refuges left from urban development and the sprawling encroachment of civilization is Manitoba 's Parkland region, where streams continue to flow through unknown woods as they have for ages, and wild beasts still rule over vast sections of forest and meadow.

That is not to say that mankind has left no mark here -- the Parkland is rich in grain and livestock production, and villages, towns, and small cities dot the landscape -- but here, people have set aside much of the land as they found it, and have learned to live in harmony with nature, achieving a balance whereby it can sometimes be difficult to tell where nature's domain ends, and mankind's begins. It is a most rare and special place.

Here you can find pristine lakes, cool, refreshing streams, rolling grasslands, sprawling forests, and even the prairie mountains.

But also you will find relics accumulated over 10,000 years of human settlement. And you can sense the pervading spirit of ingenuity and accomplishment that allowed the area's first settlers to carve a rewarding existence out of the landscape, often in the face of remarkable adversity.

More than anything else, however, those who take the time to explore Manitoba 's Parkland region will find memories to last a lifetime.

Whether you're after some of Manitoba 's best fishing, or looking for a unique shopping or dining experience, you'll find just what you're looking for between these covers. But there is certainly more to the Parkland than could be fit within these pages. Keep a sharp lookout during your travels, for adventures may appear around every corner.
