Horseback Rides

Our horses are gentle and are suited for beginner to experienced riders. Native mountain horses, they are sure-footed and allow for a western experience of scenic mountain views, meadows of wildflowers and wildlife. Steamboat Lake Outfitters is the only outfitter that can operate on Steamboat Lake State Park. We ride along the shores of beautiful Steamboat Lake State Park with a view of Historical Hahn's Peak, Routt National Forest and the Zirkel Wilderness.

Horseback tours are guided and specialize in scenic rides with personalized attention. An ideal group size is no more than 4-6 horses; however, larger groups are catered to on an individual basis. Riding helmets are available for children and adults at no charge and are ASTM-SEI approved.
