Kaw Point Park occupies the meeting of the Kansas and Missouri rivers in Kansas City, Kansas.
River views and interpretation connect this confluence with the Lewis and Clark expedition and the wider history of movement through the region. The overlook also provides a view toward downtown Kansas City across the water.
Check current local access and flood conditions before arriving. Stay on appropriate paths and away from unstable river edges; the confluence is a viewing destination rather than a casual swimming place. Bring water for an exposed walk and use posted information to understand the historical setting.
