Jones-Confluence Point State Park
- Jones-Confluence Point State Park
Jones-Confluence Point State Park is a Missouri state park located on the north side of the Missouri River at its confluence with the Mississippi River, approximately 8 miles north of the St. Louis Arch. The park was opened May 9, 2004, and includes 1,118 acres (4.5 km²) of shoreline and bottomland. The Park is part of the Confluence Greenway.
The Lewis and Clark Expedition began at this confluence in 1804. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources manages the park and plans to " restore a natural floodplain reminiscent of what Lewis and Clark might have seen along the lower Missouri River." The area is noted as a great birdwatching site. Trails are under construction and will eventually connect with the Katy Trail which runs for 225 miles (362 km) across Missouri to the west of the park.
The park is named for Edward Jones Investments heir Edward D. "Ted" Jones and his wife Pat Jones who donated $2.2 million for the Katy Trail.
