About 1000 Acres Ranch Resort
1000 Acres Ranch Resort is an all-inclusive dude ranch and family resort nestled in Stony Creek, just 20 minutes from Lake George Village. Established as one of the Adirondacks' premier horseback riding destinations, the ranch sits on a sprawling property surrounded by forests, fields, and the banks of the Hudson River, offering a genuine Western ranch experience in upstate New York.
Guided trail rides wind through scenic forest paths, open meadows, and riverside routes with views of the surrounding Adirondack peaks. Rides are suitable for all ages and experience levels, with wranglers matching each guest to the right horse and providing instruction before heading out. Beyond horseback riding, the ranch offers pony rides for younger children, river tubing, hiking, fishing, and seasonal hayrides, making it a full-day adventure destination.
What makes 1000 Acres stand out is its all-inclusive format — guests can purchase day passes for horseback riding and activities without booking an overnight stay. The ranch has been welcoming families to the Adirondacks for decades, and its combination of Western-style horseback adventures with Adirondack wilderness scenery creates an experience you won't find anywhere else near Lake George.
