Access notes
The February 2026 source record states that Tarkio is private property, landowner permission is required, and the launch road is gated and locked; it directs pilots to Glide Missoula. Contact the club for the current authorized landowner path and obtain explicit permission, gate/road instructions, parking, launch, LZ, and closure terms before travel.
Site rules
  • Obtain current explicit landowner permission through the current authorized path before every visit; the locked gate must never be bypassed.
  • Contact Glide Missoula for current site status and the correct contact, route, gate, parking, launch, and LZ procedure.
  • Do not enter, fly, or land if permission cannot be confirmed or if the current club/landowner says the site is closed.
  • Respect all private-property, fire, livestock, road, neighbor, and leave-immediately instructions.
  • This row documents PG only; no PPG use is established.
Direction notes
No current source publishes a launch direction or wind envelope.
Safety notes
  • The current source publishes no direction, wind limit, rating, road condition, obstacle map, wire survey, emergency plan, or LZ surface description.
  • A locked private mountain road and roughly 600 m vertical difference between launch and sourced LZ require current local logistics and bailout planning.
  • Launch is 19.883 km and disclosed LZ 17.744 km from FAA facility 9S4; neither intersects current Restricted/Prohibited airspace.
Additional notes
Included as a red documented private/prior-authorization site, not as public access. The club homepage is supplied as the current coordination website because no public Tarkio detail page exists.
Map pin (exact launch)
Published private launch point with a separate sourced LZ coordinate.
Navigation warning
Private locked-gate site. The pin is not permission, a gate route, parking instruction, or an LZ target; contact Glide Missoula and the landowner first.
