Rapelje
This railroad destination point turned farming and ranching community is home to just over 100 residents, and is recognized by the four iconic grain elevators scraping the sky. Despite the small number of folks who call this place home, the town sustains a school and a post office.
For years, friends and family in Rapelje gathered at The Stockman Cafe for good food and good company, and to welcome visitors for events.
Northeast of Rapelje, Hailstone National Wildlife Refuge is one of the most productive waterfowl areas in central Montana, perfect for birding and hiking. Southeast of town Halfbreed National Wildlife Refuge offers a sanctuary for wildlife and is managed as a “closed property,” but hiking and wildlife viewing are permitted among the native prairieland.
