Whether it’s planned or a surprise, a layover in Wolf Point gives you a genuine shot at exploring somewhere new. The trip from OLF to the city takes roughly 30 minutes by Taxi/Car Service, and we’ve put together this guide to help you spend your time wisely.
Pre-Departure Checklist
Stepping out of the airport during a layover takes a little preparation. Here’s what to keep in mind at OLF:
First, verify that you can enter United States — visa requirements depend on your nationality and can change. Second, know your timing: the Taxi/Car Service takes about 30 minutes into Wolf Point, so add that up for the round trip plus security buffer. Third, have your payment sorted — USD is the currency here. You’re in USD territory, so no currency conversion needed.

For a layover, the Taxi/Car Service is usually the way to go. It’s predictable, which matters when you have a flight to catch. Taxis can be faster in ideal conditions but slower when traffic builds up.

How to Spend Your Time in Wolf Point
Two recommendations for your time in Wolf Point:
Start with Wolf Point Museum. You can see the highlights in about an hour without rushing. Then, if time allows, make your way to Fort Peck Indian Reservation Scenic Drive. You can see the main features in a short visit.
Not every layover calls for a city trip. If you’re staying at OLF, check out Quiet Waiting Area or Aircraft Spotting to keep yourself occupied.
Where to Eat
Two dining recommendations if you’re heading into Wolf Point: Tastee Freez and Sherry’s Restaurant & Lounge. Both are accessible without a huge time commitment.
Staying at the airport? Look for OLF Terminal Vending or Coffee & Water Station. Airport food may not be glamorous, but it’ll keep you fueled up for the next leg.
Luggage Storage Options
Luggage storage options at OLF can vary. Rather than arriving and hoping for the best, look up nearby storage on platforms like Bounce or Stasher ahead of time.
Another option: if you’re only in Wolf Point for a couple of hours, a compact bag that you can carry comfortably saves you the hassle altogether.
Staying Connected
WiFi at OLF should cover you while you’re in the terminal. Once you step outside, you’ll want your own data connection for maps, translating, and getting around. An eSIM is the simplest solution — set it up on your phone before landing in United States and you’re good to go.
Where to Rest During Your Layover
Not every layover involves sightseeing. If you’d rather rest, OLF has seating areas throughout the terminal, though comfort levels vary. Grab a neck pillow and stake out a quiet corner.
Airport lounges — accessible via day pass, credit card perks, or services like Priority Pass — typically offer reclined seating, showers, and a quieter environment.
Final Thoughts
A layover in Wolf Point is a chance to see a slice of somewhere new — even if it’s just for a few hours. Plan your time, keep an eye on the clock, and don’t forget to enjoy the detour. Some of the best travel memories come from the unplanned ones.
Safe travels, and enjoy Wolf Point.
