Trophy trout fly fishing, nature experiences, tennis courts, swimming pool, and other activities await you.

Sylvan Dale is an historic working horse and cattle ranch specializing in Natural Beef sales. Guests go on cattle drives and cattle roundups, trail rides, overnight pack trips, take horseback riding lessons and play “Gymkhana” games on horseback. So c’mon and saddle up, discover your “inner cowboy,” and experience the old-fashioned family hospitality and cowboy culture of the historic American West.
