   Overview
Lake Resort with a Dude Ranch Flavor
Nestled in Ozark Mountain Country right next to Bull Shoals Lake you will find this unique dude and guest ranch among magnificent scenery and wildlife of the area. The Edwards family has owned and operated Turkey Creek Ranch for over 43 years, making exceptional ranch vacations their priority. Through careful planning and hard work with a few adversities - a fire, drought, and construction - they have turned Turkey Creek Ranch into a lake resort that has a dude ranch flavor. As your hosts, the Edwards family has made a business in knowing how to touch on all things special to make your vacation something truly memorable. They have something for everyone!

Horses and cattle are part of any ranch and Turkey Creek has these as well as their own brand - the Swimming T. This 700-acre cattle ranch is set among hills and hollows, woodlands and pastures. Kids love seeing the baby animals and adults love partaking in some of the ranch duties, but horseback riding always seems to be one of the favorite activities amongst the guests. Turkey Creek has a string of Western pleasure saddle horses and free instruction for beginners. Scenic trails wind through the area as bridle paths for the horses. These paths double as nature trails for hikers and challenging rides for mountain bikers. You’ll see the magnificent views of the dogwood and redbud in the spring, the wildflowers of the summer and the Ozark Colorama in the fall.

If you want a vacation with beautiful scenery, lots to do, clean and comfortable accommodations, and a friendly staff then this place is for you! This one-of-a-kind resort has a dude ranch flavor that you are sure to enjoy. Many of the guests come back year after year because it’s a fun place, a family place, and it could be YOUR place for your next great vacation!
