The worst thing to hear on vacation is, “I’m bored.” Luckily, booking a getaway to Black Butte Ranch means the chance of running out of adventures is slim to none. Our Sisters, Oregon, ranch is not only home to countless things to do, but it’s also surrounded by popular area activities and attractions. Whether visiting for a long weekend or a full week, you’ll have plenty of ways to keep everyone entertained from sunrise to sunset.
What to Do at Our Central Oregon Resort
Because the Ranch sits on 1,800 acres, it should come as no surprise that we offer a vast array of on-site activities. No matter the season, there’s plenty of fun to be had without leaving the property.
In the summer, cool off out on the water. Rent kayaks, pedal boards, canoes, or stand-up paddleboards and spend a day out on the calm waters of Phalarope Lake.- When the snow falls, Big Meadow Golf Course transforms into the perfect place for snowshoeing or cross-country skiing.
- Work on your pickleball or tennis skills. We have 14 tennis courses and 12 regulation pickleball courts.
- Try your hand at fly fishing. Rod rentals are available through the Lakeside Activity Center, and you will need to purchase a license.
- Go stargazing in Big Meadow. Sign up for this guided experience and learn how to find and identify constellations.
Discover Things to Do off the Ranch
While you could spend your entire vacation at the Ranch and not run out of things to do, no visit is complete without checking out some of the memorable area activities and attractions.
