At Haymaker you will find a hint of Scotland here in the Yampa Valley, with classic links-style golf in a mountain setting. Haymaker is an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Keith Foster, and features a full practice facility, a pro shop, and the Haybale Bar & Grill. It features rolling fairways, deep bunkers, meandering streams, and surrounding native grasses, all in a setting bordered by mountains.

The Rolling Stone golf course was designed by Robert Trent Jones II and has been open to the public for over 30 years. Located along the flanks of Mt. Werner, the magnificent layout is complete with tumbling streams as well as endless rows of aspen & evergreen trees. The tee shots are dramatic, the bluegrass/ryegrass fairways are challenging, and the undulating greens are large and protected by many bunkers.

Steamboat Golf Club

Founded in 1964, the Steamboat Golf Club is the oldest established golf course in the valley. The affordable, family-oriented, and scenic 9-hole course borders the Yampa River and features beautiful views of the valley and of Mt. Werner.

Stagecoach Reservoir

Surrounded by the majestic Rocky Mountains and located in the verdant Yampa Valley south of Steamboat Springs, Stagecoach Reservoir enjoys incredibly calm mornings and evenings for water sports of all kinds. Visitors also enjoy great fishing for rainbow trout, northern pike, and kokanee salmon. The 780-acre reservoir features a full-service marina, boating opportunities, and several nature trails. Gas, firewood, ice, fishing tackle, and camping supplies are available at the camper services store, located between the boat ramp and Pinnacle Campground.

Steamboat Lake Marina

Steamboat Lake is a beautiful manmade lake that was created about 40 years ago in the Willow Creek Valley of the State Park Range, approximately 28 miles north of downtown Steamboat on route 129. The surface of the lake reflects the majestic Hahn’s Peak at an elevation of 8,100 feet. Boating, fishing, swimming, and camping make Steamboat Lake one of the most popular areas in Colorado. By late summer, the water temperatures only reach the low 70’s for a refreshingly cool dip in the lake at the Dutch Hill swim beach. Boat rentals and dock rentals are available all summer long for your boating and fishing enjoyment. In addition, exploration of the hiking trails throughout the park offers an array of native wildlife as well as pristine views of Meaden Peak, Farwell Mountain, and the peaks forming the Continental Divide.

Rodeo

A fun event for the whole family, Steamboat’s very own Pro Rodeo Series is one of the most successful weekly rodeos in the USA. While the roots of rodeo in this Northwest Colorado ranch town / world-class ski resort trace back over 100 years, the humble beginnings of the weekly rodeo were in the mid-‘70s as the “Friday Night Jackpot.” Contestants gathered once a week to compete for their accumulated entry fees. The Pro Rodeo Series has since been expanded to include both Friday & Saturday night events. Each night of rodeo festivities includes some or all of the following events: Bull Riding, Calf Scramble, Ram Scramble, Tie-Down Roping, Bareback Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding, Steer Wrestling, Cowgirls’ Barrel Racing, Pee Wee Barrel Racing, & Clown Act intermissions. Gates open at 5:30 every Friday & Saturday June 13th - August 16th, and events begin at 7:30. Book with the Porches Concierge for special ticket pricing.

Cattle Drive

If you’ve always wondered what it would be like to be a real cowboy, come on out to Saddleback Ranch and experience the thrill of helping to work cattle on a 7,000-acre real working ranch! Unlike most horseback riding opportunities in the area, this is NOT your typical nose-to-tail ride. You will help move cattle, check them for sickness, gather in the strays, and make sure that everything on the ranch is running smoothly. The cattle drive is suitable for ages 8 & up as well as all ability levels; horses and riders will be matched accordingly. Free transportation is offered to and from Saddleback if needed. So come on out and enjoy a real Western adventure at a family-owned and operated ranch! One 4-hour cattle drive leaves the ranch every morning at 8:00am, Mondays through Saturdays.

Wagon Ride Dinners

Saddleback Ranch

Whether you choose to take a 30 minute horseback or horse-drawn wagon ride to our new Double Dollar Lodge, where you will be welcomed with cold drinks and the chance to take in the gorgeous scenery before dinner. After dinner, take a chance to learn the art of calf roping. At the end of the evening, you will enjoy the ride home viewing the beautiful Colorado sunset from the wagon or on horseback. NOTE: Feel free to bring your own alcohol to Saddleback to enjoy along with your dinner.

Elk River Guest Ranch

Enjoy a wagon ride in the midst of a mountain paradise, destined for a magical place to relax and dine. Start off the evening with delicious hors d’oeuvres in Papa Ed’s Saloon, followed by a lovely horse-drawn wagon ride down the road along the Elk River. Then, loop back through the ranch to a roaring fire and enjoy a delicious dinner. Our wagon ride is great for couples, families, large groups, private parties, family reunions, and even weddings! NOTE: Alcoholic drinks will be available for purchase at Papa Ed’s Saloon. Sorry, but you may not bring your own alcohol to Elk River.

Horseback Riding

If you would like to experience the quiet of the mountains, the roar of the river, and an opportunity to observe wildlife in its own domain, go horseback riding at a local ranch during your vacation in Steamboat. You'll travel into the forest through lush aspen groves, wildflower-studded hillsides, and majestic pines. Children must be at least 8 years old and able to ride their own horse.

Guided Hiking

Imagine a beautiful alpine hike on Mt. Werner with mountain views for miles and miles. Add to that a delectable gourmet lunch served by your guide, and you have the perfect alpine experience! Steamboat Ski Resort offers 3 guided gourmet hikes each week, each approximately 1 hour long with a fantastic gourmet lunch provided. Lunch may include international cheeses, croissants, baguettes, fresh Italian pasta, seafood salads, assorted fruits, rare peppered slices of beef, smoked turkey, country ham, salmon filet poached in wine and herbs, fresh chocolate-dipped strawberries, éclairs, summer cobblers made with mountain berries, and of course a glass of wine for the adults. All of which are served on a magnificent deck with white tablecloths and spectacular views. So come on up and drink in the grandeur of Mt. Werner! Hikes are offered Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays from June 20th to August 22nd. Meet your guide at the information Center in the Gondola Square at 10:30am.

Sporting Clays

The historic 1,200-acre Hogue Ranch just west of Steamboat is home to Three Quarter Circles, which from May through October offers the use of its recreational sporting clays range to the general public. The range includes 12 log shooting platforms that are designed to accommodate beginners, seasoned competitors, or sportsmen who simply want to sharpen their craft. These 12 stations can be modified daily to accommodate individual or team play, sport or training, camaraderie or competition. 3QC’s large property also includes a driving range for those who would like to brush up on their skills before heading to Haymaker. Hours of operation are Monday to Friday 9am - 4pm by appointment only, and Saturday & Sunday 9am-4pm first come, first serve.

Helicopter Tours

Zephyr helicopter tours can design a customized tour anywhere in the Yampa Valley for you and a friend. Enjoy incredible views of Mt. Werner, Buffalo Pass, the Flat Tops, Elk River Valley, Rabbit Ears Pass, and the Yampa Valley aboard one of their helicopters. Their goal is to give you a fantastic bird’s-eye view of the beautiful valley we live in, while always remaining environmentally conscious.

Swimming

Old Town Hot Springs, one of Colorado's premier hot springs, is a multi-use complex, open to the public. Old Town Hot Springs is located in downtown Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The facility is open seven days a week and features an olympic-sized pool, a kiddie pool with fun animal toys, eight hot spring-fed pools, two water slides, a fitness center, exercise classes, and massage. Steamboat's Old Town Hot Springs is a must on your visit to Steamboat.

Tubing the Yampa River

There is no better way to enjoy summer in Steamboat than tubing down the Yampa River! If you prefer the convenience of tube rentals rather than purchasing your own, Backdoor Sports and One Stop Ski Shop can equip you with just that. Please note that tubes are rented out on a first-come, first-served basis only. All rates include not only a tube rental but also transportation from the take-out point back to the starting location, where your car will be parked. Both tube rental companies are located in downtown Steamboat next to the Yampa River for optimal convenience. The primary difference between the two stores is that Backdoor is less expensive and offers traditional “doughnut” tubes for a more interactive tubing experience, while One Stop rents out tubes with a covered bottom for a drier, more easygoing ride. Take your pick!

Yampa River Botanic Park

The beautifully sculpted gardens of the Yampa River Botanic Park are a great place to take a break, and admission to the park is free to the public! Benches, walkways, and a grassy knoll are available for picnicking, bird watching, or just relaxing. The gardens attract a wide variety of native birds and butterflies. Some of the miniature gardens included in the botanic park are the tranquility garden, the vegetable garden, the rose garden, the iris garden, the hummingbird garden, the rainbow garden, the medicinal herb garden, the children’s garden, and many, many more.

Ice Skating

A great way to cool off in the summertime, Steamboat’s very own Howelsen Ice Arena hosts a plethora of activities and programs for all ages and ability levels. From figure skating classes to hockey leagues, broomball to speed skating, private rentals to public skating sessions, you can find it all at the Howelsen Ice Arena, the coolest place in town. They offer public skating sessions 7 days a week, so whatever your schedule, you can find time to come out and skate with your family and friends. For those of you that do not own your own skates, they offer both figure skate and hockey skate rentals. Howelsen's public skating hours fluctuate from week to week. Please inquire at the front desk for the most current information.

Rock Climbing

At Rocky Mountain Ventures, they can customize half-day or full-day guided rock climbing trips in various surrounding locations, including Rabbit Ears Pass and the Fish Creek Falls area. Adults, teenagers, and children as young as 6 are all more than welcome to participate, and they can accommodate anyone from first-timers to advanced climbers. The climbing is all top-rope climbing, which means that the rope is attached to the climber, goes up through bolted anchors at the top, and goes down to the guide at the bottom who does the belaying. The climb’s height varies from 25 to 60 feet, although we also offer multi-pitch advanced climbing areas which can be as high as 450 feet. The hiking time from the parking area to the climbing location varies from 5 minutes at the beginner location to 20 minutes at the advanced areas, so all climbers should wear regular hiking shoes or boots. Water bottles, day packs, and all climbing equipment (helmets, ropes, & harnesses) are provided. Half day and full day trips are offered, for more information visit Rocky Mountain Ventures

Kayak Lessons

Barry Smith’s Mountain Sports Kayak School has been serving Northwest Colorado with top-quality kayak instruction since 1980. Barry Smith has been exploring rivers and canyons most of his life, and has even been featured in magazines and on National Geographic Explorer, kayaking the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and the Hvita River Gorge in Iceland. The most popular program at his Mountain Sports Kayak School, based right here in Steamboat, is structured for those who have never kayaked before or have tried it only a few times. This 3-hour program is a great way for you and your family to experience the fun and challenge of kayaking. All kayaks & equipment are provided. Classes are offered at 9:00am and 1:00pm, 7 days a week.

River Rafting

Enjoy the beauty of Colorado from a new perspective. Choose the river trip that is right for you. From spring runoff right into autumn splendor, our knowledgeable staff have several rafting trips that can fit your specific requirements. Be it an exhilarating whitewater thrill, a scenic and serene float trip or a fun filled afternoon on a "duckie". The rivers of Colorado provide family fun and lifelong memories!

Please contact us for up to the minute availability on river rafting opportunities.

Fly Fishing

No matter what time of year you're here in Steamboat, remember that great fishing opportunities are always available. Spring is a great time to catch the spawning northern pike in lakes and rivers even though local streams may be swollen over with run-off. In the summer, the streams become low and clear. The hatches of insects are prolific, with dry fly fishing at its best. The perfect summer weather is conducive to long days of wading or float fishing. Fall is the best season for fishing as all the aspens turn gold and the days become cool and crisp.
