Silver Spur Trails Dude Ranch is one of BC's best kept secret, hidden in the Mabel Lake Valley in the North Okanagan surrounded by mountains and a pristine wilderness. The relaxing, tranquil environment is ideal for a horseback riding vacation to enjoy nature and the great outdoors. We love sharing the joys of simple ranch life with the people we meet. We love teaching our guest to ride a horse, shoot a rifle, throw a tomahawk, do some roping, shoot a bow and arrow and fire an authentic black powder rifle. All our packages can be customized for your personal adventure.

The ranch hosts a big variety of activities which are offered depending on the time of year. Guided hikes through stunning, spectacular BC wilderness, fishing and canoeing on secluded mountain lakes, swimming in sparkling clear water, panning for gold, golfing and camping.
