“The Encampment” on Patit Creek
Two miles northeast of Dayton, Washington stands a unique Lewis and Clark attraction: “The Encampment” on Patit Creek. During the Bicentennial, a group of local residents created life-sized, metal silhouettes for each member of the Expedition and placed them in a setting to recreate their campsite of May 2, 1806. Capt. Lewis’s dog Seaman and the horses the men had with them are also represented. The site may be viewed from a roadside pullout that overlooks the site and boasts a legend plaque identifying each figure.
This is the only place on the Historic Lewis and Clark Trail that you can see a life-size replica of a Lewis and Clark encampment!
