Lewis & Clark Historic Park at Kaw Point

Reviewed By Toyota1994 - Chicago, United States

The Lewis & Clark Historic park at Kaw Point is well designed and has some nice amenities. The paved walking trail down by the river is in shade and leads to a nice sculpture of Lewis & Clark at the tip of Kaw Point (confluence of Kansas River and Missouri River). On the ridge where the parking lot is, there is a beautiful memorial for all the vanquished native Indian tribes. Quite a lot of historical information is displayed at this memorial. There is nice outdoor amphitheater with seats made of rocks and cement blocks. This could be a nice place for picnics or presentations. The park has access to the Riverfront Heritage bike trail from the parking lot with a ramp over the highway. So one could visit this park while riding bike on the Riverfront trail. In summary, this park is worth spending a few hours.
