Siwash Lake Wilderness Resort & Ranch

The Eco-Lodge & Luxury Ranch at Siwash Lake

Find your wild in British Columbia’s rugged heartland, where the magic of horses, lure of adventure, and soul-stirring beauty of nature entwine in a vibrant, regenerating wilderness.

At Siwash Lake Wilderness Resort & Ranch, lush grasslands roll gently between river canyons, and verdant young aspen groves thrive amid silver patches of fire-licked conifers, while swathes of pink fireweed flowers brush your stirrups, making for spirited days in the saddle. Here, cowboy heritage and indigenous culture transport you back in time amid the rustic elegance of a multi-award-winning luxury lodge.

For horse enthusiasts, beginner to expert equestrians can horseback ride to their hearts’ desire. The emphasis is on holistic horsemanship, with supportive mentoring and a fun-filled focus on the mystical bond between horses and humans. You’ll be given your own horse for duration of stay with over 100kms of wilderness trails to navigate on horseback.

Further to riding, practice the art of fly fishing, explore waterfalls, and hike in a dynamic ecosystem. Try your hand at frontier skills—learning bush craft, shooting sports, and cross-country archery. Afterwards, delight in the soothing pleasures of yoga by the lake and a wood-fired hot tub.

Later on, when nothing stands between you and the world’s clearest skies, enjoy open-air, fine dining overlooking the lake and meadows beyond. Wholesome culinary fare features ranch-grown and wild-foraged elements.

Overall, this boutique-sized luxury lodge hosts a maximum of 12-16 guests, while crafting peaceful, romantic adventures for couples, and high-energy summer vacations for families with children of all ages.

Siwash Lake Wilderness Resort & Ranch offers a bespoke journey beyond the ordinary for those seeking authentic, life-enriching experiences in nature.
