No, the Oregon Trail was used by people moving to settle in Oregon later in the Nineteenth Century. It didn't exist yet when Lewis and Clark surveyed the land the United States gained in the Louisiana Purchase. In fact, the Oregon Territory was not even a part of the Louisiana Purchase.

What was the result of the Oregon Trail?

Because of the Oregon Trail people were able to settle out west and lead the way for other settlers. Before the Oregon Trail no one lived out west and the only time it had been explored was on the Lewis and Clark expedition, and during that they stuck to the Columbia River and followed it to the Pacific and back, but had never wondered outside of that area. I am from Oregon and it is a big thing to us because I grew up on the Columbia River and use to swim in it during the summer. It allowed people opportunity to expand to the west.

Did the Mormon and Oregon trail follow the Platte River?

Yes. When it was possible, the Mormon trail was on the opposite side of the river from the Oregon and California trails, to avoid any confrontation or argument over use of the trail and supplies (grass, berries, small game) found along the trail.

What trails did people use while moving west?

One of the first trails into the West connected New England with land that is now Kentucky and Tennessee. A part of that trail, the National Road, is now known as US 40. The Oregon and the Mormon trail both went from St. Louis, Missouri to Fort Bridger, Wyoming. That this point the two trails split. The Mormon trail continued southwest to the Great Salt Lake. The Oregon trail continued northeast and over the Blue mountains into Oregon. The Santa Fe trail went along the Missouri River and into Colorado, from there it traveled Southwest to what is now New Mexico.
