City Folk Can learn to live like a Cowboy at Westgate River Ranch

Every year, millions of Americans go on vacation. Some choose to step outside the country where they grew up and visit Europe or the Caribbean, yet many more are finding vacation gems in their own backyard. One of the most popular of these gems is 'dude ranches,' which can be found all across the United States, not just the west.

Even the east coast state of Florida is home to some of these dude ranches where anyone can go and learn firsthand what it takes to be a cowboy on the frontier. In fact, Westgate River Ranch, which claims to be the world's largest dude ranch, is located in the heart of central Florida.

Westgate River Ranch is a modern facility that has all the amenities that one would expect of any luxury resort. It is surrounded by more than 100,000 acres of protected wildlife preserve, and has plenty of trails on the property for prospective cowboys to try out their horseback riding skills.

People who don't want to learn to live life as a ranch hand are also in luck. Most of the dude ranches around today offer plenty of other activities to suit modern tastes, such as boating, fishing, and even skeet shooting. The authentic Westgate River Ranch offers a hayride, airboat rides, and a petting zoo for children. There is even line dancing at the saloon and a weekly professional rodeo, which add to the overall experience.

A dude ranch vacation is perfect for people who want to have a great time with the whole family without breaking the bank. If you want to learn more about dude ranches and Westgate River Ranch, please visit www.WestgateReservations.com.
