About the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge
Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge is a park and tourist attraction located at 27650B South Valley Road in Lima, Montana, United States. The refuge is home to a variety of wildlife, including grizzly bears, elk, deer, moose, eagles, swans, and many other species. Visitors can explore the sagebrush landscape, wetlands, lakeshores, and creeks while practicing good wildlife viewing ethics. The refuge offers hiking trails, campgrounds, and a Visitor Center for those looking to experience the wilderness setting. Conservation efforts at the refuge aim to provide habitat for migratory birds, native fishes, and both transitory and resident wildlife. The refuge also conducts research projects to inform management decisions for wildlife and habitat. Visitors are encouraged to carry bear spray and be prepared for a remote wilderness experience, as facilities are limited and recreation off established roads is non-motorized. The refuge is known for its superb landscape photography opportunities and serves as a corridor for mammals moving between Yellowstone and other areas of Idaho and Montana. With over 53 thousand acres, including 32,350 acres of wilderness, Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge offers a unique and uncrowded setting for wildlife and nature enthusiasts.

Reviews of Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge
"Not paved and all dirt roads. I wish google would tell you which roads are dirt. Good for 4 wheeling, bad for a rental car."
"Beautiful drive through this area in the fall. This is a grizzly bear area so bring bear spray and be aware of your surroundings."
"Off the beaten path, gravel roads. No winter maintenance, cell service limited. But, beautiful!!"
"Barely more than 1 hour from Yellowstone Park, although reached only by well-maintained dirt road, this reserve has world-class lakes and mountain views, a few hiking trails, and almost no tourists. You may have heard of Upper Red Rock Lake in "The Trumpet of the Swan" where Louis spends his winters and meets his sweetheart Serena. If it has changed since then, it has only become more wild and preserved. I did see a swan family but don't expect to get close - most of their nesting sites are off limits. I also saw a family of pronghorns. If you happen to need lunch, check out the nearby Elk Lake Resort (very limited hours but a nice detour if you time it right)."
