Uncle Buck's Lodge

Plains Vacations

The daily work of this family ranch has changed little since the days of the Old West. From cattle roundups to fence mending, you can participate in a variety ranching activities that follow the rhythms of nature rather than the tick of a clock.

Our Plains Vacation Package lets you participate as little or as much as you like in the work of a real cattle ranch. Come ride the range with the cowboys and take part in the spring and fall cattle roundups, branding, checking fences, calving out cows, roping, and other activities that are part of our cowboy way of life. Whatever your level of riding, our ranch hands will help you match a horse to your needs.

And when it's time to relax, enjoy a variety of outdoor activities including wagon rides, horseback riding, fishing, campfire cookouts with local storytellers, canoeing and river tubing and nature hikes. There's also plenty to do back at the Lodge, whether you want to kick up your heels to some great cowboy music at our western-style bar, or just kick back on our deck and enjoy the view of the scenic river valley. It's up to you to decide the level of activity that will re-kindle the cowboy spirit in you.
