The Lewis and Clark Expedition arrived at Kaw Point on June 26, 1804. Kaw Point is where the Kansas River runs into the Missouri River. Kaw Point, in 1804, was about 1/4 mile up the Missouri river from its current location. 

The Lewis and Clark Historic Park at Kaw Point, a portion of the Lewis and Clark Trail, is in the process of preservation and enhancement through trail enhancement, infrastructure restoration, signage, historical interpretation, and visitor support services.  Kaw Point will provide future recreational and educational opportunities to residents of the Kansas City metro area, and Lewis and Clark enthusiasts who travel the trail. Groups and organizations who would like to hold events at the Lewis and Clark Historic Park at Kaw Point should contact:
