Montana's Upper Missouri National Wild and Scenic River is a one hundred forty-nine mile wilderness stretch of the Missouri River that has changed but little since Lewis and Clark first saw it in 1805. In addition to the river corridor's incredible beauty, it played a major role in the settling of the West, and there are scores of important historic sites along its banks, including Indian encampments, Lewis and Clark campsites, steamboat landings, fur trading post sites, and abandoned homesteads. The Upper Missouri is the premier section of the Lewis and Clark Trail, which stretches from St. Louis to the Pacific coast. The Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument includes the Upper Missouri National Wild and Scenic River, as well as tens of thousands of acres of wilderness public lands adjoining the river corridor. The core of this book is a 'history digest', which locates important historic sites along the river, and provides a narrative describing the history of each site. When combined with the Bureau of Land Management maps for the river, floaters can relive the history of the Upper Missouri, while enjoying the beauty and peacefulness of the river. Additional chapters describe the river's geology, wildlife, and provide tips for individuals planning to float the Upper Missouri.

The Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument Boaters' Guide map set is produced by the Bureau of Land Management and is intended to enrich the Upper Missouri experience for both new and well-seasoned river floaters. In addition to updated maps, you will find information on river access points, campsites and safety tips as well as information on Lewis and Clark's campsites and observations during their passage through this area in 1805 and 1806.

The Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Edition 2005-2006 Boaters Guide provides 19 maps of the river with an accompanying discussion about each map on a facing page. Information is keyed to designations by "river miles," which is the distance along the river traveling downstream, beginning at Fort Benton. This Boaters' Guide covers the river section from Fort Benton to Judith Landing (mile 88.5).

The continuation of the river is shown on the new Judith Landing to Kipp Recreation Area 2008 Boater's Guide.  It is formatted like the first Boaters' Guide and also contains safety tips, maps, suggestions about camping and interpretive information to make your trip more enjoyable. Both booklets are printed on waterproof and tear-resistant paper.

The Boaters' Guide booklets for this 149 mile stretch of the Upper Missouri are indispensable for your safe and memorable river experience.  Boaters' Guides are sold in sets only.
