This site overlooks the Big Swan Valley. The Big Swan Creek runs through the valley and is 6.5 miles north of the Meriwether Lewis Site entrance. The Little Swan Creek, passes though the Meriwether Lewis campground. The name Swan, was either after an early 1800s post rider known as “Old Man Swaney” or “Swan” for the swans that reportedly once lived here.
