Book Your Cabin

Fishing near Big Sandy Lodge

A professional guide will accompany all trips that require the use of horses.
Children must be 8 years old to ride. No double riding allowed. Riders over 250lbs can be accommodated by special arrangement only and are contingent upon stock availability.

From Big Sandy Lodge, the Fremont, Lowline, Highline, and Big Sandy trails will take you to nearly 40 different lakes with 6 different species of trout. Most lakes are within 8 miles of the lodge. Some of the more remote lakes are within 15 miles.

How early can you get in? That depends, of course, on the weather each year and when the snow melts. Some years we can get up to the lodge in mid to late May and the snow doesn't fly again until mid-October. We can't predict the exact date until we get into the spring. Access by horse begins in June, before then we hike in. Great fishing is available in the nearby lake just a few steps from your cabin door!

We do not sell fishing licenses at the lodge, so please be sure to get your licenses in town before you come up. For more information about fishing please visit WY Game & Fish or to purchase a fishing license click here.

Horses at Big Sandy Lodge

Horseback Riding
Horseback is a terrific way to explore the Wind River Range, and especially for those whose time doesn't permit hiking the magnificent mountains. Our guides will lead you to areas in line with your interests (e.g., photography, fishing, hiking, scenic). You will return to the lodge in time to have the evening to yourself for fishing or relaxing. See our Rates page for day ride prices.

Plan on staying in a cabin as well? Consider the Mitchell Package to get a discount on the horse services.

Roam the wilderness. Commune with nature. Observe other creatures along with yourself.


Gear Drops & Spot Packs
Our Packer/Guides can take you and your gear by horseback to your choice of destinations in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. If your party chooses to hike in and/or out, we can pack all or part of your gear. Trips over 12 miles by special arrangement. See our Rates page for additional info and prices. Common destinations include Big Sandy Lake, Clear Lake, Skull Lake, Maes Lake, Shadow Lake, and more.
