Outdoor Fun in Wyoming's Yellowstone Region
Brooks Lake Lodge and Spa is a private hideaway not far from Yellowstone National Park. This all-inclusive mountain resort is the perfect mix of pioneer living and modern luxury with horseback riding, hiking, fishing, canoeing and more.
Our historic guest ranch has miles of forested trails to hike, lakes and streams to fish, and clear skies (unpolluted by city lights) to star-gaze. WiFi, gourmet dining, and luxurious accommodations are all part of your stay.
Things to Do: Summer
Rocky Mountain Trail Rides
Horseback riding can be part of your guest ranch vacation here at the lodge. We maintain a herd of 40 surefooted steeds and riders of all experience levels are welcome. Our knowledgeable wranglers will guide you on your full- or half-day ride into the beautiful Shoshone National Forest.
Trail rides are taken at a leisurely pace. Children 9 years and older are welcome on all trail rides. Arena riding is also an option for older guests who wish to trot.
Fishing
The rivers and lakes surrounding Brooks Lake Lodge and Spa are teeming with trout. Enjoy a half-day fishing trip hiking through beautiful wilderness to a cool, clear mountain stream. Or experience an all-day fishing adventure and travel by horseback to a beautiful mountain lake and spend tranquil hours fishing for a bite. Whether you are a novice or a pro, our guides will make sure this is the most enjoyable fishing vacation you've ever experienced.
Fly and spin rods are provided as a courtesy to our guests. Fishing licenses are available for purchase at the Lodge as are a variety of flies.
Hiking
Feel the exhilaration of summiting a peak 11,000 feet above sea level. Look out over the landscape and marvel at nature's majesty. Here, at Brooks Lake Lodge and Spa you can climb the Pinnacles or hike to the top of Brooks Mountain and stand atop the Continental Divide. Or, for a less daunting physical challenge, one of our guides (accompanied by an enthusiastic lodge dog) will take you for a hike along our nature trails—traversing rolling slopes, spotting birds and beasts and foliage that call these hills home.
All experience levels welcome. Guides are provided as a courtesy to our guests.
Canoeing
Spend a leisurely day exploring the brisk and beautiful Brooks Lake. Paddle to the middle of this almost 300-acre mountain lake, cast your line for hungry trout and spend some time catching up with your kids. Everything you need for a high-mountain canoe trip—life preservers, paddles, fishing rods and bait—is provided for you by our friendly staff.
Archery
Experienced huntsmen and novice sportsmen alike will enjoy the recent addition of archery to the Brooks Lake Lodge and Spa guest ranch experience. We provide everything you need, including instruction for those who wish to learn. Come enjoy target practice surrounded by the most beautiful alpine scenery.
Big Game Hunting
It’s a 7-day excursion into the Western wilderness. Take a trail ride through some of the most beautiful countryside you’ll ever see and arrive at our hunting camp near Cub Creek (the headwaters for the Buffalo River). Here, we've seen terrific success rates for hunting elk and bighorn sheep.
A traditional wall tent camp setup including a cooking and dining tent will keep you comfortably warm with wood-burning stoves.
If you're interested, you must apply for elk tags in January and / or contact Bruce Lindsey at (307) 221-4752 for a non-resident draw.
