Use your GPS navigation to get there, because it's a bit of a secret gem tucked away near downtown. There's a walking trail, beautiful views of the point where the Kansas River flows into the Missouri River, and historic markers about Lewis and Clark's journey west. (Spoiler alert: they landed on Kaw Point).
