Rapelje is a small farming community about 25 miles north of Columbus between Hailstone National Wildlife Refuge and Halfbreed National Wildlife Refuge. Both are a part of the Big Lake Complex and the most productive areas in central Montana for waterfowl and shorebirds. The refuge is a breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife. Rapelje is home to Montana's original 24-hour endurance mountain bike race held on the weekend in June closest to the summer solstice.
