Working horse ranch in the Upper Delaware Valley with guided fly fishing and horseback riding along the river.
Delaware Valley Ranch is a working 180-acre horse ranch in the Upper Delaware River valley that doubles as a fly fishing and outdoor adventure destination. The ranch offers horseback riding along the river, guided fly fishing on the Upper Delaware, and a range of ranch activities from cattle work to archery. Accommodations are in comfortable Western-style cabins with log furniture, Pendleton blankets, and wood-burning stoves. Meals are served family-style in the ranch house, emphasizing grass-fed beef and produce from the ranch garden. The Upper Delaware is a five-minute ride by horse or a two-minute drive.
