No, Lewis and Clark did not find a water passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Their expedition, which took place from 1804 to 1806, aimed to explore the newly acquired western territories of the United States and to find a Northwest Passage. However, they discovered that the geography of the region did not allow for a continuous water route connecting the two oceans. Instead, they navigated rivers and encountered various terrains, ultimately demonstrating the vastness and complexity of the American West.
