Fishing in the Valley

West slope cutthroat and bull trout are found throughout the Elk Valley, home of 5 of North America's most sought after fisheries.  Guide outfitters are the best way to experience the river and ensure fish stories have great photos to back them up.  Brooks Creek Ranch will arrange your guide upon request.

Fishing at the Ranch

Brooks Creek Ranch has 1.6 kilometres (1 mile) of frontage directly on the Elk River.  A 10 minute walk from your guest suite to the River offers access to several of the local guides favourite holes.  As the property is private and reserved for the exclusive use of our guests, outside access to these spots is otherwise limited to boat traffic only.  

Mountain Biking

The Fernie trail network is a bucket list for riders from around the globe.  Grab a map and explore on your own, or arrange a local guide outfitter to show you the trails, provide tips on your skills, and even arrange and fit your rental bike.

Hiking

From a 1 hour leisurely walk in the woods to the beautiful Matheson Falls to a guided trek over a stunning mountain range, Fernie's trails have something for everyone.  

Water Sports

Canoeing, Kayaking, white water rafting, or scenic float trips are a great way to experience the Elk Valley.  Observe wildlife in their most natural setting, or feel the adrenaline while navigating the rapids.  Just don't forget a waterproof camera!  The team at Brooks Creek Ranch can arrange your white water adventures.

Skiing and Snowboarding

A short 30 minute drive to the Fernie Alpine Resort offers guests the opportunity to taste Fernie's iconic "Champagne Powder".  If you're looking to find premium powder without bumping into other skiers all day, Fernie's the hill for you.

Experience Fernie!

Meander through art galleries while sipping your coffee from a local cafe.  Spend a day at SPA 901, one of Canada's top rated spas, or tour a history packed museum that details the history of the development of the Elk Valley in the late 1800's.  Dine at unique bistros and cafes, and don't forget to try a craft cocktail at the Fernie Distillery!
