There is ample parking for snowmobile or ATV trailers in the front. No need to continuously load and off load your sleds.

Fly fishing is world class at Henry's Lake and the Madison River. Visit 'Johnny Sacks' cabin by snowmobile or ATV and see big trout at the Big Springs Loop bridge! In the summer, float the Lazy River at Mack's Inn or travel to the Galletin River for some white water excitement. You just might see bear, moose, elk, wolves, red fox, bald eagles, or other wild animals in the local area while riding your ATV even without venturing to Yellowstone Park.
