There are so many ways to experience the nature and history of Wilstem Guest Ranch that the list seems endless. For horse lovers
there are more than 30 miles of woodland trails to explore. If you're
more into hiking, those same trails offer miles of rugged exploration including creeks, caves and exposed rock outcroppings. Let your
mind wander while walking the railroad bed of the old French Lick/Chicago Railroad. Bicycle fans will enjoy mountain biking at the
ranch or on the trails at French Lick just minutes away. For more speed and endurance nearby Patoka Lake offers miles and miles of
bike trails along light rolling hills with beautiful views of the lake.
Wilstem is a working ranch, and at any time you will see Chi-Angus cattle that are raised on the property, along with various crops including soybean and hay.
Fishing at Wilstem is a great way to enjoy a restful day. The creek is highly rated for its small mouth bass, and our pond is fully stocked. Bring along a fishing pole and a good book and leave the rest of the world behind.
Wildlife at Wilstem includes deer, turkey, bobcats, coyotes and fox. There are birds of all kinds including blue heron, hawks, hummingbirds, bluebirds, osprey, and the American bald eagle.
An abundance of wildflowers and native plants and trees - including deep Walnut groves – entice artists to bring along a camera or canvas to capture the moment.
