About Us

Outdoor event with multiple tents and attendees in a grassy area. — Clifton Park Elks Lodge
Outdoor event with multiple tents and attendees in a grassy area.

On a given weekend at 695 Mac Elroy Road, you might find hundreds of cars, trucks, and bikes lined up across a spotless property for one of the Lodge's celebrated shows, with staff so well-organized that first-time visitors leave genuinely impressed. That kind of execution doesn't happen by accident. It comes from a membership that takes its commitment to community seriously and puts in the work to back it up.

Founded under the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge #2466 serves the Clifton Park and Ballston Lake area with a full calendar of dinners, fundraisers, and social events. The recent beef brisket and pulled pork buffet dinner drew guests who had heard about it through word of mouth alone, a reliable sign that what comes out of this kitchen earns repeat visits. The hall is clean, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is exactly what a neighborhood lodge should feel like.

With a 4.6-star rating across 146 reviews, this is a place locals genuinely recommend. Whether you're a longtime Elk or someone curious about membership, the door at Lodge #2466 is open.

What We Offer

The Lodge operates as far more than a bar or meeting room. The banquet hall hosts private events including wedding receptions, milestone celebrations, and corporate gatherings, with a staff experienced enough to keep large crowds happy and on schedule. Dinner events run throughout the year, from casual buffets to themed fundraiser nights, and tickets typically move fast.

The outdoor grounds have earned a reputation for hosting some of the region's best car, truck, and bike shows, drawing large crowds and praised for their layout and organization. The full-service lounge and bar gives members a comfortable spot to unwind on regular nights, with a social atmosphere that feels genuinely local rather than manufactured.

For those interested in joining, Elks Lodge #2466 offers a path into one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, with access to member benefits, community service opportunities, and a calendar packed with reasons to show up.

"We attended the recent Clifton Park Elks Club dinner. Our friends made the reservations a few days prior to the dinner. While this event was advertised as a beef brisket and pulled pork dinner buffet, the portions served were shockingly small. Each plate came with barely a tablespoon of brisket and a tablespoon of pork, hardly enough for an adult, let alone someone with a bigger appetite. I'm 6’3” and 280 lbs. Even my wife thought the portions were more suitable for a child. The dessert was equally disappointing. It was supposed to be a brownie with vanilla ice cream, but they ran out of ice cream. The “brownie” itself was about the size of a piece of fudge, barely an inch by an inch. This Elks Lodge has been running dinners like this for years, so it was surprising to see such poor planning and stingy portions. We were looking forward to attending some future dinners, but after this experience, we're not so sure we'll be back. We stopped for pizza on the way home, because we were all still hungry. If you’re advertising a dinner, guests should reasonably expect to leave satisfied. Unfortunately, this event completely missed the mark."

"The amount of elks that frequent this lodge is impressive. Large majestic animals, very kind and friendly. There is a STRICT NO HUNTING rule so the Elk are very calm. There are also so wild cougars but they should be approached with respect."

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.
