Welcome to Anchor Creek Elk Ranch

Elk Ranch, Velvet Antler, Hunts, Antler Craft
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.

Summer  Northern Michigan is the place to be during the beautiful days of Summer! Enjoy Thunder Bay's horse drawn carriage ride. Travel through the resort and cross the Thunder Bay River & forests to see newborn calves and world class bull elk in velvet. It's magical to see such large antlers in velvet this close up! Complete the magical experience with Jan's outstanding gourmet dinner. She prepares it before you on antique wood cook stoves. Golf & tennis optional.
Fall Amidst a kaleidoscope of Fall colors brilliant orange oaks, blaze red maples, and stately evergreens. Majestic bull elk bugle wallow, strut, spar and fight for dominance. The Fall rut rituals are an awesome sight! Hear the antlers clash and clatter as these world class bulls prove their strength.
Winter Winter's white blanket, proud evergreens, and Thunder Bay's horse-drawn sleigh ride invite you to cuddle up as you travel through our Northern Woods. From the sleighs, you will view bull elk with world-class antlers. What a natural beauty! Warm up in front of the split stone fireplace inside the Elk Antler Log Cabin as Jan prepares your gourmet feast.
