When to Go
When the weather is warm, this park is at its busiest, both for visitors enjoying the park and the access to KC. Summers can be hot and humid, when not relaxing in the shade. In spring, grab a jacket before you hit the trails since the weather can vary. In October, fall colors reach their peaks, promising epic views from the scenic overlook. The winter season is especially quiet. Watch for bald eagles visiting and nesting along the river. You may encounter freezing temps and precipitation, so go prepared.
Know Before You Go
