STILLWATER LANDING
Nestled in the Stillwater State Forest, Stillwater Landing sits on 2200 feet of lakeshore and 10 acres. It is all private and noncommercial.
We have a beautiful outdoor stage on the water, where musician friends occasionally perform or jam. There is also the occasional fundraiser for local nonprofits. Down the shoreline, the “Hanger” houses my PA12 on floats and has its own stage for music gatherings. Many of our friends arrive in their cars, planes, kayaks or RV's to visit. We always welcome pilots and musicians to our various informal private gatherings, and love to share our "Montana Experience".
For those flying in, there of room for float planes and amphibians on our lakeshore, and wheel planes at the three local airports. You can camp behind your airplane or stay at one of the many local lodges in the Whitefish or the Flathead Valley area. Those arriving by wheel planes can land at Glacier International (FACT) 25 miles by road or Whitefish airport (58S and grass) 16 miles by road or Kalispell City, S27, 28 miles by road. Scheduled airline service is available on Alaska-Horizon, United and Delta.
Our friend Marie Delaney , artist, writer and musician, created this visual impression of our outdoor "Lake Stage.
Any resemblance to a "real musician" is purely intentional. The plane might be a cross between my PA12 and Bryans C-185.
