More Than Just Horses
When people hear “Cedar Creek Ranch,” they usually think horseback riding — and yes, our trail rides are amazing. But there’s a whole lot more to do out here. Whether you’re bringing the family for an afternoon or planning a group outing, here are some things you might not know about.
Pauly’s Petting Zoo
This is a favorite with kids (and honestly, a lot of adults too). Get up close with goats, bunnies, donkeys, miniature horses, and other friendly farm animals. It’s hands-on — you can pet them, feed them, and hang out as long as you want.
Gator Creek Cruise
Yes, you read that right. Our Gator Creek Cruise is a unique motorized boat ride along the creek. It’s relaxing, scenic, and unlike anything else you’ll find in the area.
Fishing
Our ponds are stocked and ready. We provide the poles, so just show up and cast a line. It’s catch-and-release, and it’s a great way to slow down and enjoy the outdoors.
Goat Yoga
Exactly what it sounds like — yoga with baby goats climbing on you. It’s hilarious, surprisingly relaxing, and perfect for a unique girls’ day out or team outing. Check our schedule for upcoming sessions.
Overnight Stays
Want to make it a full experience? We offer overnight accommodations right on the property. Fall asleep to crickets instead of sirens, wake up to fresh air, and start the next morning with another ride. It’s a mini-vacation without the travel.
Weddings & Private Events
Our rustic property makes a stunning backdrop for weddings, reunions, corporate outings, and private parties. If you’re looking for a venue near Starved Rock that’s beautiful and different, come take a tour.
