Grab a Bite to Eat
For a town with a population of just over 2,000 residents, Red Lodge has a surplus of excellent restaurants with many flavors. It's the hungry tourists that fuel the demand for local eateries and places to congregate between adventures. Cafe Regis, on 16th street, is the local favorite place for classic breakfast entrees. Be sure to save an appetite for fresh cinnamon rolls at Cafe Regis if visiting on Saturday morning. Other popular places to visit for the most important meal of the day include the Red Lodge Cafe and Prindy's Place. All three of these classic breakfast spots also serve casual lunch options. For evening appetites in Red Lodge, institutions like Carbon County Steakhouse and PREROGATIvE Kitchen are community favorites and good date spots. Romantic outings also occur at Piccolacucina at Ox Pasture, which features seasonal menus and fresh ingredients. For those with pizza on the mind, look no further than the Red Lodge Pizza Company on Broadway Avenue.
Hit the Greens at Red Lodge Mountain Golf Course
When the skiing and snowboarding season ends at Red Lodge Mountain, the golf season begins. The public Red Lodge Mountain Golf Course is a favorite of the community and anyone who enjoys gorgeous views backdropping the green. Tee times are available, though walk-ons to this 18-hole, par-72 course are also welcome. The mountain scenery and affordable green fees often lead to a second round. Beautiful mountain views surround the entire course, and many of the holes have scenic features like lakes and creeks. One of the signature holes, # 15, features a challenging island green. The golf season at Red Lodge Mountain typically spans mid-May through mid-October. The Pro Shop at the golf course has a selection of clubs and apparel for sale and club rentals. Other amenities include a driving range and several tournaments open for public play. Address: 828 Upper Continental Drive, Red Lodge, Montana
Fish at Wild Bill Lake
Thousands of acres of Custer Gallatin National Forest wait to be discovered from Red Lodge. One of the quickest ways to explore the forest from Red Lodge is at Wild Bill Lake, accessible with a seven-mile drive. This small but scenic lake is off the west fork of Rock Creek Road, south of town. It's very popular with families looking to explore outside. The half-mile Wild Bill National Recreation Trail circles the lake and connects to wheelchair-accessible fishing docks. The lake also features several picnic areas overlooking the tranquil setting. It's common to see several anglers accessing the water of Wild Bill Lake. The U.S. Forest Service regularly stocks that lake with rainbow trout. All anglers 12 years of age and older need a valid Montana fishing license to cast a line.
