Opened by our wonderful owner Greg in December of 1996, Ridgewood Bay has been a lakeside favorite for nearly three decades. Nestled on the shores of Little Elk Lake, we’re the kind of place where summer memories are made, winters are celebrated, and everyone feels like a regular — whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth.
In the warmer months, it’s all about sunshine, cold drinks, great food, and unbeatable lake vibes. Come by boat, soak up the patio life, and enjoy the laid-back fun that defines summer at the Bay. When winter rolls in, we don’t slow down — we lean into it with our annual ice fishing tournaments, great specials, and the same welcoming atmosphere we’re known for year-round.
We work closely with our friends at the Santiago Lions, allowing us to give back to the community through charitable gambling, events, raffles, and more.
From comfort food favorites to friendly service and a lively crowd, Ridgewood Bay is proud to be A Sunny Place for Shady People. Pull up a chair, raise a glass, and stay awhile — you’ll fit right in.
