Less than 20 minutes north of Weston, Lewis and Clark State Park showcases the expedition of Lewis and Clark, whose Corps of Discovery passed through the area in 1804.

The campground offers tent and RV sites, some with electric hookups.
For watersports and more, head to Smithville Lake, a popular recreation spot with 7,000 acres set amid the rolling prairies and hills. Activities include fishing, paddling, swimming, and boating.

Weston is a year-round destination, with several town festivals marking the changing seasons and holidays. Summer is generally hot and humid, and the lakes and rivers are popular retreats this time of year. Spring is pleasant, with mixed weather. Fall is an annual favorite, thanks to the weather and Mother Nature’s annual show. Winter is usually cold, with freezing temperatures and chances for snow and ice.
