Lewis and Clark’s legendary expedition would not have been possible had they not been able to navigate some of North America’s longest rivers. Today, the officially designated water trails of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail are an exciting and iconic way for you to explore the region much as Lewis and Clark themselves would have.
The Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center is located in Sioux City, Iowa. The Center is owned and operated by Woodbury County Parks and is also where the Woodbury County Conservation Board is located.
In August of 1804, The Corps of Discovery led by Lewis and Clark passed through present-day Sioux City, near where the Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center is currently located. Here, the expedition met with the Otos to inform them that their land was now part of the United States of America.
