Fabulous float trips, canoeing and trout fishing await you with an American Outdoors outfitter on the Wild and Scenic Missouri River.
The route of Lewis and Clark, the Missouri River flows through a spectacular valley with striking rock formations and diverse flora and fauna. The corridor also includes numerous historical and archeological sites
The 149-mile Upper Missouri National Wild and Scenic River flows through the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument. The land and the rugged, surrounding uplands (commonly call the Missouri Breaks) are defined in part by their history. The entire region was the homeland and lifeblood of American Indians. The river served as the pathway for Lewis and Clark, then the waterway for steamboats and a drawing card for fur trappers and traders. Later, the river and the Missouri Breaks were sanctuaries for desperados trying to stay a step ahead of the law. The land was also a source of hope and inspiration for several generations of homesteaders. Today the public lands in the monument make a significant contribution to the local lifestyle and the regional economy.
