Rocky Ridge Lake is a scenic mountain lake with room for a handful of campers. Due to its scenery and relatively easy access from the west, it is not unusual to see RV’s here. (Driving RV’s on the Lolo Motorway is officially discouraged.) There is a restroom, and each site has a fire-pit and picnic table.
Past the road to the lake is a viewpoint of the lake. If you take the 3-minute walk from the Lolo Motorway, you won’t be disappointed!
Note: Forest Road 500, known as The Lolo Motorway, is a primitive, winding road through remote country that demands a high degree of self-sufficiency and the right vehicle. Average car speed is between 5 and 10 MPH, and ATVs and motorcycles are better suited for the conditions. Be sure to read “Lewis & Clark on the Lolo Trail” before beginning.
