Bear River Ranch

Bear River Ranch is a 300-acre property in the Missouri Ozarks, situated 9 miles north of Rolla. The ranch operates as a private event venue from September through April, welcoming weddings, corporate retreats, youth groups, and religious organizations to its grounds. The venue's central gathering space is a dining hall that seats up to 250 guests, furnished with wooden tables and chairs, a stage, and a unique view into the on-site lemur enclosure. Outdoor ceremonies most often take place in Fox Field, a large open area on the property, with covered pavilions available for additional gathering space. Fifteen climate-controlled cabins provide overnight accommodations for up to 300 guests. Event groups can also take advantage of hiking trails, a high ropes course, archery, and the ranch's private zoo, which is home to over 100 animal species.
