GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
for
Nez Perce National Historical Park
and
Big Hole National Battlefield


ASA SMITH MISSION
and
LEWIS AND CLARK LONG CAMP

The combined Asa Smith Mission and Lewis and Clark Long Camp sites are interpreted by signs at a pullout on U.S. Highway 12, approximately 1 mile east of Kamiah, Idaho. The actual Asa Smith Mission and Lewis and Clark Long Camp sites are approximately 2 miles downstream along the Clearwater River on property occupied by a privately owned logging mill.

 MANAGEMENT ISSUES

  • The interpretive signs are in the wrong location, as well as in an unattractive "sign garden".

  • The information on the signs is in accurate.

 ACTION PLAN

  • The Park Service will work with the Idaho Transportation Department to correct the wording on the signs and move them to the correct location. Cultural resource documentation will be finished.

  • The Park Service will work with landowners to conduct research.
