The Lodge at Montgomery Bell

Guest Testimonial: Hospitality and Catfish!

“I was in a nearby town looking for lunch recommendations and mentioned my son was mountain biking at the park. Someone suggested the restaurant at the inn and were so glad we took their advice. We sat outside overlooking the paddle boat docks on the lake. They have a nice indoor dining room as well. The food was fresh and reasonably priced and the waitstaff friendly and attentive. The catfish was especially good.”

The best way to experience the Bell Ringer race weekend? Stay on-site at the Lodge at Montgomery Bell State Park. You'll be just steps from the start line, the trails, and all the race day excitement.

Bell Ringer runners who book through our special lodging link receive discounted room rates, continental breakfast, and a late 6 PM checkout. No early morning commute - just wake up, fuel up, and head straight to the start.

After you ring the bell, celebrate, shower, and relax without ever leaving the park. Turn the Bell Ringer Trail Run into a full weekend experience and stay where the adventure begins.

Make Bell Ringer more than just race day - make it a full weekend experience.

The best way to enjoy every moment? Stay right where the action happens at the Lodge at Montgomery Bell State Park. Wake up steps away from the start line, spend your day on the trails and celebrate your accomplishment without having to rush home when the miles are done.

After you ring the bell, stick around for the post-race gathering, share stories with fellow runners, enjoy a meal, and relax with friends and family - all without ever leaving the park.

The Bell Ringer is more than a race. It's a weekend worth experiencing. Book your stay at the Lodge and make the most of race weekend!
