Mouth of the Judith River
Viewing from the south side of the Missouri river towards the northeast
The Lewis and Clark Expedition camped in this valley May 29, 1805
This area is a large valley where the Judith River flows into the Missouri River. Being at the downriver end of the White Cliffs area it is a favorite takeout place for river floaters.
The area is mostly privately owned land, but the BLM maintains a nice campground here as well as a number of interpretive signs that give a varied history of the area. A total of six signs introduce the visitor to area geology, paleontology (the first discovery of fossils in North America was made here), Lewis and Clark, Fur trading, and the steamboating era.
