Council Bluffs Iowa
Lewis & Clark Trail
Lake Manawa is one of those oxbows of the Missouri. It was cut off in 1881 when the river channel changed. Now it's part of a 1529 acre Iowa State Park. The Expedition would have negotiated this bend on July 27 on their way from Camp White Catfish to a campsite on the Omaha side of the river. Deer and a wild turkey inhabit Lake Manawa State Park.
