Our Service to You

Welcome to Nakiska Bear Ranch, your gateway to the wild beauty of Clearwater, British Columbia. Nestled at the edge of the breathtaking Wells Gray Provincial Park, our ranch offers a unique combination of nature, adventure, and authentic Canadian hospitality.

Originally founded as a working ranch, Nakiska Bear Ranch has grown into a retreat where guests can disconnect from the rush of everyday life and reconnect with the essentials – fresh air, wide-open spaces, and the rhythm of nature.

Our ranch is still a operating agricultural business. We raise animals, harvest our own hay, and take pride in keeping traditional ranch life alive. Guests are welcome to gain a behind-the-scenes look at our daily work – from caring for the animals to maintaining the land – and to experience the authentic pace and spirit of rural Canada.

Here, you’ll find cozy cabins, peaceful meadows, and friendly farm animals, all set against the backdrop of mountains, forests, and pristine rivers. Whether you come for horseback riding, wildlife observation, hiking, or simply to enjoy the stillness, our ranch invites you to slow down and breathe deeply.

We are committed to sustainable ranching and responsible tourism. Every detail – from the way we care for our animals to the experiences we offer – reflects our respect for the land and our passion for sharing its beauty with others.

At Nakiska Bear Ranch, you’re not just a visitor. You’re part of our story.
