    I visited this place on the 4th of July. The Corps of Discovery drank the last of their whisky here, celebrating the 4th of July, 1805. This area is now mostly improved with houses, and a paved highway that passes White Bear Island where the actual camp is located. If you have a boat or some other means, one could make it to the island. Captain Lewis wrote in his journals about a great experiment, his metal frame he intended to construct into a boat. The crew couldn't find pine sap to seal the hides stretched around the metal frame. The metal frame was left and the men continued up the Missouri after completing portage around the Great Falls. The metal frame has never been located.

    Hidden gem that should be seen by anyone interested in Lewis and Clark history. There is another at the downstream portage site.
