Surrounded by thousands of acres of natural open space, The Ranch at South Fork is the perfect year-round place from which to launch a myriad of activities—or for just hiding away and relaxing in luxury.

More than 975 miles of trails wind through the two-million-acre Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. Nine wildlife habitat areas are closed to motorized vehicles, including the area surrounding The Ranch at South Fork, so you'll enjoy quiet, peaceful hiking, fly fishing, cross-country skiing and trail riding experiences.
Within walking distance you can:
  • Take a Hike - there are 5 maintained trails that originate in the village ranging from a short nature trail to strenuous day hikes up into the backcountry.
  • Ride your Bike - The roadies love our hilly, scenic terrain and there are miles of great single track for the mountain bikers out our back door.
  • Go Fishing - the Little Colorado river is in our back yard with several good access places to get a shot at the trout that reside in this natural habitat.
  • Go to a Museum - The Little House Museum : Take a step back in time on our grounds. This is a truly unique museum with antiques and artifacts from the old west. Old buildings have been authentically restored to their original condition. Around every corner you'll see turn of the century vintage fashions.
