Looking for a unique getaway where you can be surrounded by nature? Here’s a gorgeous spot in the Uintas where you can fish, hunt, and relax in beautiful surroundings.
Falcon's Ledge is a truly unique getaway. It's located in a secluded canyon in the Uinta Mountains, surrounded by natural beauty. You'll find this pretty lodge at Stillwater Canyon, HWY 87, Altamont, UT 84001.
This lodge won the Orvis 2012 Fly Fishing Lodge of the Year Award, and you'll see why from the moment you arrive. The 15,000-square-foot lodge is bright and spacious, and set up to provide everything you need for a peaceful getaway.
With just eight private rooms, your experience here will be quite private. The lodge does not provide televisions or phones - this is a truly remote getaway designed to give you some relief from the stresses of everyday life.
The lodge offers fly-fishing excursions, as well as pheasant hunting. Spouses who don't wish to partake in these activities will still enjoy the many amenities available here.
The private canyon encompasses 600 acres, and includes 15 private stillwaters that are perfect for fishing, but are also incredibly picturesque. Bring your camera to capture views like this!
If you're an avid fly fisherman, you'll love this getaway. Rainbow, Brown, Tiger and Brook trout fill these waters, and some are absolute monsters! Most fish in the private stillwaters range in size from 18-20 inches, but the largest measured in at a whopping 32 inches!
From a quick one-day trip, to a longer seven-night excursion, Falcon's Ledge can design the right getaway for you. Each stay includes time spent with a fly fishing guide.
From September through March, you can pheasant hunt at the nearby 3,000-acre private farmland at Hunting Grounds at Pleasant Valley. During the months of September, October, and November, the pheasant season and fly-fishing seasons overlap, and you can do both in one day.
Whether you're looking for a simple stay with access to quality fly fishing, or want to book a longer trip with a guide and fly fishing lessons, Falcon's Ledge is a beautiful place to getaway from it all.
