Lewis and Clark State Park, State park in Buchanan County, United States.
Lewis and Clark State Park spans 189 acres along the southern shore of Lewis and Clark Lake, featuring stone shelters and natural woodland areas.
The park originated in 1934 when Buchanan County sportsmen donated the land, initially naming it Sugar Lake State Park before changing it to honor the explorers in 1938.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the stone picnic shelter in 1934, which earned recognition in the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
Visitors can access camping facilities, fishing spots, and picnic areas, though the campground remains closed for renovations from November 2023 through April 2024.
The lake within the park was originally named Gosling Lake by William Clark after observing numerous geese and their offspring during the 1804 expedition.
