Clark's Lookout State Park

Fodor's Review:

Captain William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition climbed to the top of this limestone bluff and took three compass readings; the maps he made from these readings became an important resource for future travelers. A ¼-mi gravel loop trails take visitors to the top of the bluff, where interpretive signs include a replica of Clark's sketched map of the area.
