Werner Peak Lookout is located within Stillwater State Forest atop the Whitefish Mountain Range approximately 23 miles from the city of Whitefish.

Attractions to the site include picturesque 360-degree views of the Whitefish Mountain Range, Glacier National Park and Flathead valley. The historic Ralph Thayer Memorial Trail runs adjacent to the lookout. 

Amenities include propane cook stove, lights, heater, two single beds, basic cooking supplies and outhouse. 

There is no water available on site. Come prepared for “camp-like” conditions.  This includes bringing items such as water, coolers, gas lamps, bedding and extra blankets, etc.

NOTE:  The Werner Peak Lookout is in a remote location. To provide this facility for rent to the
public, maintenance costs must be kept to minimum and basic cleaning and management of the
amenities (such as propane appliances) are mostly the responsibility of the parties using the facility.
Although this system has been largely successful in the past, there are no guarantees that all amenities
will be functioning or that the previous renter has performed the check-out procedures adequately.

2. No occupants under the age of 10 due to safety concerns.
