Experience the Adirondacks by Horseback
Gateway to the Lake George Region
Mountain View Rocking B Ranch sits amidst the beautiful Adirondack Mountains minutes away from Lake George. It was founded in 1942 by Willis Bennett a charismatic horse legend, in his own right. He started the riding stable in the middle of dude ranch country. Our parents, Lawrence and Bonnie, in 1989 continued to expand the dude ranch with the help of their children, and grandchildren. We are the only family owned and operated ranch still in business today, three generations later. These days, Mountain View Rocking B Ranch offers the thrill of horseback riding to thousands of guests each season.
Voted Best Horseback Riding in the Lake George region 2024.

This was a great experience. A nice relaxing trail ride on well-cared for horses, good comfortable saddles with staff who couldn't do enough for you. The hour's ride to the top of the mountain would have been enough, but at the top were picnic tables ready for our dinner. Steak or chicken, baked potato, corn on the cob, salad, appetizer and dessert. What's not to love!! And after enjoying dinner with our new-found friends, an easy ride back down to the stables. This will definitely become an annual event for us!!

Thank you to the wonderful guides/owners that were with us yesterday you've made this birthday one of the best days of my life. The experience itself, along with the incredible stories you've shared, to thejust life talk we've had while riding your beautiful horses. I was extremely nervous in the begining since it was my first time riding and by the time the ride was done, i felt confident and more comfortable than ever. I cannot thank you both enought, we will be returning every time we come back to visit! If anyone is looking for a great experience, you NEED to come here! The scenic views, along wiht the birds chirping on a beautiful day, while riding a stunning horse. I couldn't have imagined it to be any bettwer than that! Thank you againfor this memorable experience!

A truly unique way to see the beautiful landscape of the Adirondacks! We booked onto the Two Hour Mountain Ride, Beech Mountain. When we arrived the staff were helpful and welcoming. We rode Rachel and Freckles (two beautiful mares). From start to finish the landscape we travelled through on horseback was spectacular and we felt the ride offered a special perspective of the forest and mountain landscapes.
