South Dakota—Retracing the Lewis & Clark Journey
Every
year, we see hundreds, thousands, and, soon, even millions of
people following the same steps that Lewis & Clark traveled
over 200 years ago.
We see people reliving the
journey by car, RV, boat, motorcycle, canoe and bicycle. Some
prefer the comforts of home offered by AmericInn & restaurants,
while others pitch a tent and cook meals over a fire each night.
Whatever your means of traveling
and living during your own Lewis & Clark adventure, the Chamberlain-Oacoma
area offers something to help make your travels worth writing
home about.
Visit the newly expanded Lewis
& Clark Interpretive Center at the Chamberlain I-90 rest area
between exits 265 and 263. The center features interpretive displays
recreating the landmark journey. Also, view the wide expanse of
the Missouri River from a 55-foot replica keelboat
