Joliet sits along Highway 212 with an easy, scenic drive to the bigger-city amenities of Billings and the mountain gateway of Red Lodge. Weekends often revolve around the water at Cooney State Park, where residents boat, paddle, and ice fish at a reservoir managed by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, making it a reliable year-round playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Trail seekers head south and west into the Custer Gallatin National Forest for hiking, camping, and memorable wildlife encounters, while anglers find dependable action on nearby streams. Everyday conveniences are close by in Laurel, and county services are anchored just up the road in Carbon County.
Families appreciate the K–12 continuity at Joliet Public Schools, known for small class sizes, community-supported athletics, and hands-on programs that reflect the area’s agricultural roots. Local ballfields and parks host youth sports and summer gatherings, and countywide traditions—like the fair and rodeo circuit—are an easy hop from town. Proximity to Stillwater County and the foothills broadens job options and weekend adventures without sacrificing the slower pace people move here to enjoy. Housing ranges from tidy in-town homes to small-acreage properties, with sunrise mountain views and starry skies as standard features.
