Spear-O-Wigwam is one of our preferred lodging partners in the north-central bighorns. a 4x4 high clearance vehicle is recommended when staying here, so you might as well rent a can-am side by side that is built for it.

Spear-O-wigwam is truly a hidden gem of the American West. Here, ernest hemingway worked on his famed novel, “a farewell to arms.” he didn’t quite finish it due to the constant distraction of superb fly fishing and horeseback riding opportunities. He would end up spending over a month at Spear-o. Drinkin’, fishin’, and ridin’.

today, spear-o is very much as wild as it was in 1923, when it was founded. located a skip and a step from park reservoir, you’ll find an abundance of recreation opportunities in addition to your can-am atv rental. fly fishing, kayak rentals, canoe rentals, horseback riding, hiking, and more. if you’re not a guest of spear-o, you really are missing out!
