Notices for Stilwater POA
2025
May 2025
Dear Stilwater Property Owners,
Happy Spring!
The docks are in! Thanks to Barry and the Tripco staff for having this completed. Also, spring cleanup is nearly completed in Stilwater and will be finished by Memorial Day.
Our annual bulk pick-up will be scheduled for the Tuesday/Wednesday after Memorial Day. Please ensure your items are stored within the fenced area at the dumpster location.
Also, please be advised that the bears have been out and about. Make sure that all trash is kept inside or taken to the dumpster and do not leave food outside.
As we enter the busy summer season, please ensure that you and your renters and guests adhere to the Stilwater rules and regulations. This will make for a safe and enjoyable summer and boating season.
Thank you!
On Behalf of the Stilwater POA Board of Directors

Stilwater Property Owners,
On behalf of the Stilwater POA Board, we wish everyone a happy 2025 and want to share some reminders and updates.
1. Weather – We are experiencing a good, old fashioned winter in Garrett County and Stilwater is facing challenges with maintenance of the roads and the hill. The board is working with Tripco to address where and when it may lack timeliness and/or eƯectiveness. We remind property owners to 1) maintain access to driveways, 2) no parking on roads, 3) no plowing snow from driveways onto the roads and 4) awareness of freezing pipes. Also, appropriate (4-wheel drive) vehicles to successfully traverse the roads in Stilwater is a must for renters, owners and visitors. Please contact Barry at Tripco (304-216-5713) with any road maintenance issues.
2. Nominating Committee - The nominating committee is soliciting an interested property owner to serve on the committee for 2025. This individual would not intend to serve on the board in 2025. Please email stilwater.poa@gmail.com if you are interested.
3. NEW! Cove & Shoreline Improvement Working Group - The board is seeking interested property owners to join a working group to be focused on improvements and potential changes to our cove and shoreline. This group is being tasked to assess the cove/shoreline and develop suggestions for improvements that may allow for jet ski docking, designated/upgraded kayak launching, and safe swimming in addition to the current boat slips. Some of these items were raised during the annual meeting in October. Please email stilwater.poa@gmail.com if you are interested. We intend to start meetings in February.
4. NEW! Stilwater POA Social Media – We want to remind Stilwater owners that we do have a Facebook Page and plan to make it more active. This will include posts about news, community issues, stories, and weather updates. Please search for Stilwater POA on Facebook to Like and follow.
5. All owners please be on the lookout for the 2025 Owners Information form. The form will be emailed out by Tripco and the Board asks that each owner fill out and return to Tripco with any updated information by March 1st.
6. Just a reminder that the Quarterly Board meeting will be held this upcoming Monday, February 10th
