Merganser Lodge

Merganser Lodge has two clean and comfortable guest rooms and is situated on the Missouri River, three miles south of Cascade. The Lodge's twenty acres are surrounded by private ranch land and provide a relaxed and informal atmosphere to enjoy the panoramic views of the nearby mountains and listen to the flow of the Missouri River.

Whether looking out the Lodge's extensive windows, or relaxing on the deck, you might see an osprey catch a fish, young Mergansers practicing their swimming, or a pair of eagles soaring overhead. A fawn may frolic through the yard as you sip a cup of coffee and view a breathtaking sunrise. Or you might hear the howl of coyotes while enjoying an evening cocktail under the stars.

Activities to be enjoyed in the area include fly-fishing a world-renowned section of the Missouri River. Float the river with a fishing guide, rent a raft for a leisurely float, or fish from the banks of the Lodge's half-mile of private river frontage.

Arrangements can be made for exclusive hunting privileges for you and your party on 2700 mountain acres located a short distance from the Lodge, where you can hunt for deer, antelope, elk, bear or mountain lion.

Other activities to be enjoyed in the area include horseback riding, bird watching, photography and hiking. Whatever you choose, we will be pleased to assist you in making arrangements.
