Stillwater

Minnesota city name

Stillwater refers to a body of water with no current—a pond, lake, or calm stretch of river as opposed to moving water.

Anglers distinguish stillwater fishing from stream fishing, each requiring different techniques.

The term also names several American cities, most notably Stillwater, Oklahoma and Stillwater, Minnesota.
