Montana State Parks (stateparks.mt.gov) is bringing back the Atlatl at Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park!
One of the very first weapon systems developed by humans was the Atlatl. The atlatl is a device that helped the first inhabitants of this continent throw a dart farther and with more power.
“It’s a fun way to experience early hunting techniques before rifles,” said Park Ranger Derrick Rathe.
This interactive interpretive program will give you a chance to test out your Atlatl abilities. It will be located in the parks campground open field (North of the parking lot).
For more information call the park visitor center at (406) 287-3541.
