Lewis and Clark State Park is named after American explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark who stopped by in this area during their adventure up the Missouri River in 1804. The 176-acre park, which is governed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, also includes the 250-acre Blue Lake. Combined, you can enjoy a number of land and water activities such as hiking, picnicking, camping, swimming, boating, and fishing. Those who decide to stay overnight in their modern, electric campsites, you’ll also be able to see a full-size replica of the keelboat which Lewis and Clark used during their expedition.
