Just minutes off I-90. Fun stop to break up the long drive through Montana.

We are from Missouri so it was cool to see the Missouri River Headwaters. The ranger followed us to where we parked and was very quick to tell us that it was 8 bucks to park. We paid 8 bucks and spend a total of 10 minutes there. It was weird and not worth 8 bucks but they knew they could get it so they did.

I have always been fascinated with the Lewis & Clark Expedition. We had a great time hiking the trails to the headwaters. Fun to learn about and see what L&C saw. We got to be in the same place they had breakfast. 😀

Can people have a small wedding in the park ? Do you reserve it pay fee ??

sandy O'Rourke | Feb 22, 2020
Jeff Woods | Feb 23, 2020

Im sure that you could have a small wedding, as I have seen other groups there. Im not sure about what the reservations policies are. There is a really nice lawn area with bathrooms and tables by the historic grave area just past the pictographs. You could perhaps if you can't reserve send someone ahead to save it until you get there.

There are no RV hookups here. But you're camping where Lewis & Clark did in 1805, so it's worth it for a night or two! Have fun!♡

What is the with of the Missouri river

gliaudel kari | Dec 19, 2018
David Nicholson | Dec 20, 2018

The width varies along it's 2,341 mile path through seven states and i think 15 reservoirs/dams. So it ranges from a few hundred feet wide to very wide in the reservoirs.

Can you ride horses on the trails?

Kezia Fashant | Jan 14, 2021
Carol Cox | Jan 15, 2021

I've seen quite a few people on horseback, so I think it's allowed.

Mark Lockhart | Dec 31, 2020
