One of our young guests’ favorite experiences, guests can help feed our baby alpaca and white tail deer. The feeding is seasonal (our babies grow out of feeding). To inquire about feeding them on your visit contact our guest services team.
Fishing, Kayaking, Canoeing And Paddle Boarding
Grab a kayak and spend the day on the water with hook and pole, or fish from shore. Morrell Ranch is Missouri’s best kept fishing secret. During the summer and late spring Morrell Ranch’s Swan Lake is a great place to cool down. Grab a kayak, canoe or paddleboard and make your way around the ranch by way of water.

Horseback Riding ($)
Horseback riding is available for an additional fee. Inquire about a lesson when you make your reservation, or ask at check-in at the guest services building.
Frisbee Golf
Test your frisbee skills with a game of frisbee golf. Located across Morrell Ranch, frisbee golf is a fun partner or group activity and great for all ages. Ask our guest services team for more information.
Warm up by a Firepit With S’mores
Is there a better way to enjoy an evening by the fire than with s’mores? S’more fixings are available in nearby Gallitin, about a 5 minute drive from the ranch.
