Westgate River Ranch Resort and Rodeo is the largest authentic Ranch in the Southeastern US and the only one in Florida. A unique Dude Ranch experience awaits you at this 1,700-acre ponderosa of winding trails and pristine waters where horseback riding, airboat rides, swamp buggy rides, golf, skeet shooting, hayrides, line dancing at the Saloon and a sanctioned rodeo every Saturday night are just some of the activities to enjoy. If you would like a more immersive experience, we can organize a cattle drive with real cowboys for your group or event. Throw on your favorite western wear and enjoy a hayride with a singing cowboy followed by rustic BBQ grub. For a quieter evening, mingle with other guests in our restaurant The Smokehouse Grill which overlooks the Kissimmee River and offers a scrumptious and diverse menu. Spend the night or opt for a day trip at our full-service resort - Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo boasts more than 8,000 square feet of flexible meeting and banquet space and is able to accommodate up to 250 people in 12 different areas of the property. Come and find your inner cowboy and leave your City Slicker worries behind. Nothing beats the laid-back vibe, fresh air and great outdoors so start planning your adventure today.
