Roberts
Roberts, on Rock Creek between Red Lodge and Laurel, is just a few miles from Cooney State Park, a popular recreation spot for boating, swimming, camping and excellent walleye and rainbow trout fishing. Stargazers come for Cooney’s dark skies and birder’s flock to the area. Hundreds of species of birds have been identified in the park, including American kestrels, franklin gulls and short-eared owls. The reservoir is a stopping point for migratory birds like osprey and pelicans during the spring and fall. Bird walks are popular during the summer months.
Further south is the stunning Beartooth Highway, described by former CBS correspondent Charles Kuralt as "the most beautiful drive in America."
Make Kelly's Rock Creek cabin your rustic basecamp for Roberts and Red Lodge area exploration. The cabin overlooks Rock Creek minutes from Red Lodge Mountain ski area, Red Lodge Mountain golf course and the Absaroka-Beartooth wilderness area. Plus, Yellowstone National Park is only 68 miles via the scenic Beartooth Highway. Enjoy wagon rides, horseback trail rides, a hot tub, fly-fishing, wildlife watching, and Beartooth mountain sunsets.
For a guided float or wading fly-fishing trip on the Yellowstone or Stillwater River, call the folks at Rocky Fork Outfitters and Guide Service.
