Welcome to Elk Ridge Ranch!!!!

Elk Ridge Ranch is a unique rural ranch destination located in the middle of the Hoosier National forest in Southern Indiana 9 miles from French Lick, Indiana. Elk Ridge is a 120-acre working ranch (See Festival Map Below).

In 2003, Dave Marshall and Wendy Henry Marshall left their corporate jobs in telecom to seek a more relaxing and fulfilling lifestyle in rural southern Indiana. The Marshall’s accumulated 120 acres of land nearby adjacent to 800 acres of Wendy’s family-owned land. Elk Ridge Ranch started as a working elk ranch in 2001. They expanded with a specialty restaurant open to the public and transitioned into a rural retreat destination hosting weddings, corporate retreats and fitness retreats.
