One of the best ways to experience western ranch experiences in Montana is on the scenic dirt trails of RiverView Ranch. Trail rides are ideal for families, private groups, couples, and solo guests who want to explore the property alongside a Ranch Wrangler while taking in the beauty of Big Sky Country.
Whether you are brand new to horseback riding or looking to sharpen your skills, our arena welcomes all experience levels. RiverView Ranch offers one-on-one and group lessons, making it easy to learn the basics, build confidence, and enjoy a true western riding experience in a luxury Montana ranch setting.
There is something for everyone at our shooting range. Under the guidance of our skilled staff, guests can learn the basics or continue developing their technique with a variety of handguns and rifles in a safe and well-supported environment.
A carriage ride is a memorable introduction to the ranch and captures the spirit of RiverView Ranch perfectly. This experience blends rustic western charm with elevated hospitality, giving guests a relaxed and scenic way to take in the property while enjoying a distinctly refined arrival or evening outing.
No ranch getaway feels complete without time on the water. Guests can fish in our rainbow trout-filled lakes or choose an off-site fly-fishing excursion on the Clark Fork River for an additional cost, adding another classic western outdoor experience to their stay.
Our archery course is designed for both beginners and experienced guests. Set among the trees, this activity offers a fun and focused way to practice target shooting while enjoying the peaceful natural surroundings of the ranch.
Get up close with our adorable Mini Highland cows during one of the ranch’s most memorable animal encounters. Guests can cuddle, brush, and feed these friendly animals while learning more about their personalities in an experience that is ideal for families, couples, and animal lovers of all ages.
