      Schafer Meadows Airstrip Project 2020

      Schafer Meadows is the last remaining active airstrip within a designated wilderness area in the state of Montana, located 14 miles from the nearest trailhead in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex. In 2020 the U.S. Forest Service began the work of restoring the historic airstrip using a team of mules and two vintage graders -- a process that had not been completed since the Great Bear Wilderness was designated in 1978.

      Landing at Schafer Meadow

      Landing on the 3,200-foot grass strip at Schafer Meadow USFS Airport in Montana. Most landings are made to the west on Runway 25, despite the slight downhill slope of the runway, due to the better options for a go-around. The airstrip is at 4,855 feet elevation in the remote Bob Marshall Wilderness complex adjacent to Glacier National Park.
      This airport was featured in Pilot Getaways magazine in the Summer 2000 and Sep/Oct 2007 issues.

      Meadow Creek Airstrip Montana OS1 10 7 2012

      Beautiful Montana Back Country Airstrip. Recommended for experienced mountain pilots. Big game animals may be on runway so be ready for go arounds. Consult AIR NAV and other aviation data sources for airstrip information. Tall trees on runway approach with sometimes unpredictable winds and up and down drafts....runway has good length so leave a little extra airspeed in there as a cushion when conditions warrant.
