When spending your vacation time within such a picturesque and wondrous wilderness, it's a case of having too many things to do within too little time! Use your time together at natural Retreats South Fork Lodge wisely with our activity tips.

Family activities

Fathers and sons have long spent quality time together at a waterway, or in some cases they are a place for dad to escape the family for some peace and quiet! The river is less than 100 feet away from the lodge. If keeping your feet, or at least your mount's, on dry land is more appealing, take a trail ride through Rainey Creek and end your day by trying a square ice cream cone at the creek's country store.

Parks and pools

The Palisades Reservoir. to the southeast of Swan Valley, is a 16,000 acre pool that's perfect for viewing the wildlife and boating. Catch a few fish while you're there and your day is complete. If the fishing close to the lodge or on the reservoir hasn't satisfied your appetite for angling, there's more on the Hansen Guest Ranch, which also provides hiking, hunting and more across its 17.5 acres.

Sports and adventure

If your golf bag travels wherever you do, you can take a drive up Route 31 to the Teton Reserve Golf Course to practice your swing. If however you always travel with mountain bikes strapped to your vehicle, give the suspension a workout on the Swan Valley Area Mountain Bike Trails. To explore at a more leisurely pace with more stops to admire the view and consider your route, you can take the Swan Valley Area Trails. Both the bike and hiking trails begin at the East Ririe Highway.
