Cross the Missouri River by ferry upriver at Carter or down-river at Virgelle; both ferries operate from March through October. Just one mile south of Loma, in June 1805, is where the Lewis and Clark Expedition spent nine days at the Marias River. The “Decision Point” marker on the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail (538-7461) is where they determined whether or not the Marias was a main stem of the Missouri. They concluded that it was not. Visit the Historic Decision Point Overlook and Woods Watchable Wildlife Area (265-5891).
