Siwash Lake Ranch is a world-renowned luxury guest ranch, surrounded by 80,000 acres of pristine, British Columbia wilderness. Exclusive and very private, the ranch at Siwash Lake offers a wide range of first-class adventure activities, superbly blended with the casual elegance and luxurious amenities of a 4½ star backcountry lodge. It’s the only Canadian ranch to make the Forbes Traveler “top ten” list of Luxury Dude Ranches (May, 2007) and has an eco-rating of Five Green Keys (the highest) with the Hotel Association of Canada.

The ranch is located off-grid, 32km (20 miles) east of 70 Mile House, along the historic Gold Rush Trail in a semi-remote area of BC’s Cariboo region. The surrounding area is quintessential Canadian cowboy country; gentle and rolling with open forests of ponderosa pine, Douglas fir and trembling aspen, interspersed with secluded lakes, mountain bluffs, river canyons and natural meadows — prime habitat for many kinds of wild flora and fauna. All aspects of the ranch have been designed to be eco-friendly and electricity is generated on site, using solar energy.

Besides riding, you can cast for rainbow trout on sparkling, backcountry waters. Track wildlife in their natural habitat and watch a myriad of birds along our interpretive nature trail. Mountain bike the rim of a canyon, or a mountain bluff, where you'll see a pristine forest reach to the far, blue horizon. You can hike to cascading waterfalls or paddle a canoe on shimmering Siwash Lake. Even cheer for cowboys at the local rodeo. Then complete your day with a refreshing swim off the dock.

And after a day’s adventure, relax in style at our boutique lodge that offers fine, organic cuisine and all the comfort and casual elegance of a grand, Old West country estate. At twilight, as you drift off to sleep amidst the finest linens — serenaded by the call of a loon, the yipping of coyotes, the soft thudding of galloping hooves, and a gentle whinny — feel the spirit of Siwash touch your heart, your mind, and inspire your soul.
