For the history buff, the Missouri Headwaters State Park is a beautiful walking, biking, fishing, and floating recreation area. 

Lewis and Clark camped at the park during their 1805 expedition, and because of this history, it was labeled as a national landmark in 1960. 

This waterway also served as a major lumber shipping route, and the park has sign placards throughout to highlight the impact of this corridor.

The Three Forks Cafe is one of Erin's favorite Three Forks stops, as the chicken strips remind her of cafe lunches with her Grandfather. 

Also not to be missed, the Sacajawea Hotel is a preserved historic gem with fine dining (and unlimited crab leg specials!) This boutique inn is a beautiful location for weddings, live music and catered events.

This more temperate climate and amazing fishing come with a cost, and most of Three Forks has a 1% chance of flooding... a risk its residents have accepted in exchange for the community they love. 

Ever vigilant, the Three Forks Government has developed a flood plan and has the tools to help its residents be prepared in case of such an event.
