Alberta Adventure Lodge Anchor Branch Lodge Ranch

Alberta Adventure Ranch
This is “Cowboy Country” in the heart of the last stronghold of cattle ranching in western Canada. We do things the old-fashioned way at Anchor B Ranch to keep the “Cowboy Way” alive and well.

Anchor B Ranch is comprised of 3,000 acres of ranch and farm land divided by the Oldman River in south-western Alberta. It has unmatched views of the river valley, the rolling Porcupine Hills to the northeast and the majestic Rocky Mountains to the west.

Anchor B is a working ranch with a substantial herd of Angus cattle and a farming operation designed to provide winter food for them. In addition, the ranch maintains a string of quality saddle horses to support our guest ranch and for general work in the various aspects of the ranching operation.

In addition to our main activities we offer bird watching, photo safaris, canoeing and kayaking adventures, rock climbing, various adventure-based learning programs including wilderness survival and skills training. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, we will custom-design to suit your individual needs. Click here to visit our fly-fishing website.

The Anchor B is in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, just a two-hour drive south of the major city of Calgary, Alberta and its international airport. Guests who arrive in Calgary by air can rent a car and drive to the ranch or arrange to be picked up at the airport and transported to the ranch. The Anchor B is a three-hour drive on major highways from Great Falls or Whitefish, Montana.
