Lewis and Clark National Forest
The Lewis and Clark National Forest has a strong commitment to providing ecologically sustainable goods, services, and experience. We pride ourselves on our continuing efforts to utilize up to date information on ecosystem management. The organization of the Forest is adaptive, efficient and responsive. Customer service, partnerships, and a strong land ethic are all hallmarks of our forest.
Recreation
The Lewis and Clark National Forest provides a wide variety of recreational opportunities for all ages and skill levels.
Managed by the USDA Forest Service, the 25,000 square-foot building includes the permanent exhibit hall, 158-seat theater, an education room for hands-on curriculum-based activities, and a retail store. The center is handicapped accessible and offers parking for tour buses and recreational vehicles. Service animals (guide dogs, signal dogs, or any other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability) may be used within the Lewis and Clark Interpretive center.
Our Mission
"The Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Interpretive Center imparts to the public a personal sense of President Thomas Jefferson's vision of expanding America to the west; it inspires awe and awakens curiosity toward the challenges faced by the expedition as they portaged the great falls of the Missouri River and explored the 'unknown'; brings to life the daily experiences of the expedition and the environment and native peoples of the 'uncharted West'; and celebrates the indomitable spirit of human discovery we all share."
