The River Forks

The River Forks Inn was established in 1905 as "The Forks Inn Hotel" or "The Drake Stage Stop". Daily stage Travelers would have a meal while their horses were changed and some stayed overnight. If you are interested in history and adventure travel while enjoying all the comforts of home, this is the place for you! Enjoy our wilderness inspired rooms, common areas, Bar & Grill as well as various camping spots on the banks of the North Fork of the Big Thompson River. Experience local music and events while, relaxing in the beautiful Big Thomson Canyon. Explore various rock climbing, hiking and fishing destinations that are only a short drive or walk away. Relax in the quiet Drake community, away from the city crowds. We are tucked away in the canyon, half way between Loveland and Estes Park, 10 miles from the city limits of both.
