Missouri Headwaters State Park Receives Grant Funding

Print

Managers at Missouri Headwaters State Park have secured $90,000 in two challenge cost-share grants from the National Park Service to address needs at the park. Near the community of Three Forks, the park is a major destination for Lewis and Clark enthusiasts. While it is an important Lewis and Clark site, the park has many other rich stories to tell, making it one of the premiere interpretive sites in the state park system.

The grant funds will be used to prepare an interpretive plan and make improvements to the interpretive signs at the park, as well as provide staff on site between 2001 and 2006 to give interpretive programs and coordinate events. The grant funds will be used in addition to a $275,000 appropriation for Lewis and Clark related improvements at FWP sites. Planning for the Headwaters project will be done in partnership with the local community.
