Lewis and Clark State Park

Due to prolonged drought conditions, the lake at Lewis and Clark State Park is currently dry. There are no water activities available at this time. The Lewis and Clark Expedition headed west in 1804 and encountered a lake that William Clark described as “full of Geese & Goslings.” Today, that lake is Lewis and Clark Lake, which is bordered by Lewis and Clark State Park. The park’s broad open spaces make it a favorite for families who take advantage of the scenicpicnic areasand playground. Bird watchers come to Lewis and Clark to watch geese, great blue herons, eagles, swans and snowy egrets flock to the oxbow lake throughout the seasons. 801 Lakecrest Blvd.Rushville,MO64484-9558United States
