What is there to do around Riverview Ranch n Resort?
Riverview Ranch n Resort is a unique place to relax, and an enchanting place to explore.
We are nearby everything Galena and the surrounding area has to offer.
Less than a mile south of us on river road is Chestnut Mountain ski resort. They have a nice pier that has a great view of the river, especially at sunset.
Right outside our front door take a beautiful one mile walk or bike ride south along River Road to the base of Chestnut Mountain and its pier. Chestnut Mountain has a beautiful overlook park (map); enjoy a picnic lunch with an amazing view of the Mississippi river while birds soar beneath you.
