This page celebrates the heroic expedition of the Corps of Discovery, led by Captain Meriwether Lewis and Captain
William Clark. Thirty three people traveled with them into unknown territory, starting near what is now known as Wood River, Illinois in 1804, reaching the Pacific Ocean in 1805 and returning in 1806. Today's trail follows their route as closely as possible given the changes
over the years. It is approximately 3,700 miles long, beginning near Wood River, Illinois, and passes through portions of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. The National Park Service does not own any portion of
the trail. Various organizations and individuals are responsible for trail stewardship with oversite provided by the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail office. CONTACTS Email - LECL_Administration@nps.gov
