Triangle Y Ranch

One of the most unique aspects of a trip to Trout Lodge or Camp Lakewood is our working horse ranch. Don't miss the opportunity for a new adventure on horseback! Trails are designed to delight both the first-time rider and the experienced horseman. Year-round programs, a variety of trail rides and horse overnights are all offered at the ranch. We have over 60 horses as well as professional full-time wranglers.

Horse Overnights
Spend an evening with the cowboys and cowgirls from the Triangle Y Ranch! Your experience begins at the ranch where you’ll be paired up with a horse for a 2-hour ride to a bluff overlooking Sunnen Lake. Then ride to your campsite and unroll your sleeping bag on a cot inside one of our new wall tents. These canvas tents have elevated wooden floors and sleep 2 – 4 people. Dinner and breakfast are served at the campsite and include food cooked in a Dutch-oven. Our Triangle Y wranglers will entertain you with plenty of good cowboy conversation at an evening campfire with s'mores. Ride back from the campsite on Sunday morning and then enjoy lunch in the Trout Lodge dining room. Cost: $99 per person. Requirements: ages 10+. Children under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult (someone who is 18+). Maximum of 12 people. Check the Calendar of Events for dates.
