WILD HORSES

Our resort is nestled in the heart of nature, surrounded by majestic wild horses that roam freely in the area. These magnificent creatures are a sight to behold, and guests have the unique opportunity to witness them in their natural habitat during their stay with us.

The wild horses that frequent our park are not only breathtakingly beautiful but also incredibly friendly. They often meander through the grounds, grazing peacefully and enchanting visitors with their graceful presence.

These resilient animals have remained a symbol of freedom throughout history, capturing the hearts of all who encounter them.

SPORT FISHING

Come out and try your luck!

Sport fishing is popular on the Klamath River, with salmon and steelhead trout being the most popular. The Klamath is one of the most productive steelhead rivers on the West Coast of the USA.

Beginning in late summer, great migrations of King Salmon (Chinook) make their way up the Klamath River back to their place of origin to lay their own eggs to complete the circle of life. Steelhead trout move upriver in the Fall, just after Salmon, to spawn. In the Spring, they make their way back downriver to the Pacific.
