A hidden-in-plain-sight park with an important history: Kaw Point is where the Kansas River flows into the Missouri River. Lewis and Clark stopped here in 1804 and noted in their diary that the Missouri was fearfully muddy – a nickname that's stuck. The serene park has some riverside walking paths, sweeping views and displays outlining its history. Reach the park via the James St bridge.
