Thunder Bay Resort

Welcome to Anchor Creek Elk Ranch

Thunder Bay Resort is unique in offering an intimate look at wild elk. The setting for your experience is Northern Michigan's charming back woods. You begin by boarding a horse drawn carriage or sleigh that will take you through the wooded resort and away from the daily hustle and bustle. A wooden bridge takes you over the Thunder Bay River and into the Elk Preserve. Here you will get an up close look at majestic bull elk, while remaining safely behind a protective enclosure. Bring your camera as you'll have ample opportunity to snap some pictures. Enjoy the scenery, the smell of pine, and the ever changing face of the Thunder Bay River as the horses make their way deep in the woods to the beautiful Elk Antler Log Cabin.
