A Texas Hill Country Sporting Paradise

JOSHUA CREEK RANCH, located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, is nestled on an isolated stretch of the pristine Guadalupe River and Joshua Creek – just 45 minutes northwest of the San Antonio area. The ranch’s diverse terrain is a perfect habitat for the best upland bird hunting in Texas, as well as decoyed mallard duck hunting and dove hunting excursions in season. Sporting enthusiasts also enjoy shooting on two scenic sporting clays courses and fly-fishing for rainbow trout. There’s trophy axis deer hunting year-round and whitetail deer and turkey hunting in season. 

With luxury lodging, gourmet dining and premier conference & event facilities, this sportsman’s paradise is a one-of-a-kind destination resort that is ideal for corporate events, family getaways, special occasions and milestone celebrations. Joshua Creek Ranch is the only lodge in Texas that is Endorsed by Orvis and recognized by Beretta for Excellence in Wingshooting.

“We try very hard to offer an exceptional customer experience — from guided hunts and habitat management best practices to luxury lodging, meals and amenities, we always keep the Orvis Commitment to Partnership top-of-mind,” offered Kevin Welborn, Joshua Creek Ranch Director of Marketing, Sales & Guest Services. “We have received more than 500 five-star customer reviews on our Orvis profile in just the last two years which suggests we’re doing a pretty good job so it’s nice to be recognized,” he said.

Joshua Creek Ranch has been a pioneer in the wingshooting lodge business for more than 27 years. In only its third year in the prestigious Orvis Endorsed Program, the Texas Hill Country Ranch has already been a finalist for Orvis Endorsed Wingshooting Lodge of the Year twice — in 2016 and 2017.

According to Welborn, “There are so many things that make Joshua Creek Ranch special. In addition to our ideal location in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, attentive customer service and top-shelf amenities, the combination of hunting and sporting activities we offer is truly unique.”

Non-hunters are also welcome to enjoy resort-like accommodations, fine dining and a wide range of outdoor sporting activities like fly-fishing for rainbow trout, bass and bluegill, sporting clays shooting on one of two scenic courses or kayaking float trips along the renowned Guadalupe River that serves as the Ranch’s northern boundary.

According to Welborn, “Eric’s larger-than-life-never-met-a-stranger personality, dog work and patience with all customer skill levels truly set him apart.”
