The closest world class fly fishing lodge to Denver. With the right driver, you are casting the same day you land.
Denver International to Shawnee
North Fork Ranch sits on 520 acres along the North Fork of the South Platte River in Shawnee, straight down US 285 from Denver, about an hour and a quarter from Denver International. It is the rare luxury lodge trip where the transfer is short, which makes same day fishing entirely realistic. We meet you at baggage claim, load the rod tubes, and go.
Orvis Endorsed Lodge of the Year
North Fork was named Orvis Endorsed Fly Fishing Lodge of the Year for 2023, with private water on the South Platte, guided programs for every skill level, and rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout that run big. The lodge also hosts corporate fly fishing retreats, which we support with Sprinters for the whole team, see our corporate and executive service.
Land, ride, cast
One fixed price, a vehicle with room for rods and duffels, and a chauffeur who has you at the lodge while your flight crowd is still waiting at the rental counter. Heading deeper into ranch country another year? We also serve Rawah Ranch and the whole Colorado guest ranch circuit.
