Jones-Confluence Point State Park, State park at Missouri and Mississippi Rivers junction, United States
The state park encompasses 1,121 acres of wetlands and bottomlands where the Missouri River flows into the Mississippi River, creating a natural delta ecosystem.
The Lewis and Clark Expedition commenced their westward journey from this confluence in 1804, marking a critical point for the exploration of western territories.
The monument records the Great Flood of 1993, when water levels rose 38.2 feet above normal, illustrating the rivers' influence on local communities.
The park features interpretive kiosks, walking paths, and observation points where visitors can watch migratory birds along the Mississippi Flyway throughout the year.
Edward and Pat Jones donated $2.2 million to develop the connecting Katy Trail, leading to the park's designation in their honor in 2004.
