Four State Lookout, Scenic viewpoint in White Cloud, US
The Four State Lookout stands on a platform atop rolling loess hills, providing views of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Iowa from a single location point.
The concrete pillars at the site were established in the 1930s to support cables spanning across the Missouri River, marking an important infrastructural development.
The White Cloud Tourism Committee built a concrete platform in 2004 to commemorate the Lewis and Clark Expedition bicentennial, enhancing the visitor experience.
Visitors can access the lookout by turning north from Main Street in White Cloud and following the Four State Lookout sign up the hill to the viewing area.
Directional pillars feature painted markers indicating the viewing direction for each state, with Nebraska and Iowa on the north pillar, Missouri and Kansas on the south.
