| Only
the Sound of Music...Relaxing is the
number one pursuit of many of our guests. We do, however, provide radios
and stereo CD players, so bring your favorite music. |
| A Little
Ranch History...Newton Fork Ranch
is a third-generation property just outside Hill City in the beautiful
and pristine Black Hills of South Dakota.
Situated on
Deerfield Road, the Ranch is a series of old mining claims originally owned
in the late 1800s by the Harney Peak Tin Mining Company of New York and
London, England. Time truly stands still here.
Your mind can
wander back to an era before South Dakota was a state and this property
was located in Dakota Territory. |

| A Creek
Runs Through It...The Newton Fork
Creek meanders through the Ranch and is alive with pan-size rainbow trout.
If you are ambitious, walk next door and pan for gold at Wade’s Gold Mill,
a popular destination for visitors in search of The Old West experience. |
| Hiking
and Biking Trail...Once you catch
up on your relaxing, you are ready to enjoy the surrounding area, which
abounds with recreational pursuits.
We are conveniently
located next to the George S. Mickelson Trail. Over a hundred years
ago, the old Cheyenne to Deadwood stage ran through Newton Fork Ranch.
Later, the Burlington Northern Railroad took its place heading up to Deadwood
and the Homestake Gold Mine in Lead. Now, the abandoned railroad
tracks have been turned into a popular hiking and biking trail that stretches
109 miles from Deadwood in the north to Edgemont in the south. One
can explore the Black Hills on foot, bicycle, horseback, and in winter,
on cross county skis and snowshoes. A gate on the property, installed
for the exclusive use of our guests, opens directly onto the Mickelson
Trail. |
