The Missouri Headwaters Boat Launch in Three Forks, Montana offers paddlers a rare opportunity to put in at one of North America's most historically significant river confluences, where the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers meet to form the mighty Missouri River. Situated within Missouri Headwaters State Park along the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail at an elevation of 1,231 meters, this launch point delivers dramatic mountain-framed river scenery and calm, navigable waters ideal for kayakers and canoeists of various skill levels. Paddlers can explore the same legendary waters that captivated the Lewis & Clark Expedition in 1805, with 14 immersive scenes documented along this remarkable 0.14 km waterway stretch.
