Fly Fishing
Cast your rod into the meandering streams of Lindner Ranches, splashing your fly into the pristine river water. And with one of our expert guides nearby, you’ll find the rainbow trout biting in no time. Lindner Ranches offers private day fishing trips based on our availability. Please call for pricing and availability on groups of 3 or more anglers. All terminal tackle and lunch is included.
Horseback Riding
Experience Lindner Ranches on horseback just as the original settlers did. Meander through meadows, pastures and forest adjacent to the San Juan National Forest. Take in the scenery and experience the wildlife that is plentiful on all of the Lindner Ranches. Heck, our wrangler might even put you to work moving the herd.
Explore on Foot
Find yourself away from it all as you explore the ranch’s wilderness on foot. The ranch is surrounded on three sides by the San Juan National Forest and just outside the boundaries of the ranch sits the expansive Weminuche Wilderness Area, which provides great hiking trails to Hossick Lake, Divide Lakes, Granite Peak and the Continental Divide. The Weminuche Wilderness is 500,000 acres and the San Juan Forest is two million acres of the most beautiful land in the state of Colorado.
Snowmobiling
So you’re a throttle junkie, well then we have just the thing for you. If you find yourself at the ranches in the winter time enjoying the holidays, we offer snowmobiling as well. Nothing like carving through the powder getting face shots of the cold stuff. And if you get stuck, your friendly ranch manager will get you out with a big smile on his face.
