Weston Bend State Park announced record-breaking visitor numbers for 2025, with nearly 15,000 people visiting the scenic hilltop overlooking the Missouri River throughout the year — a 23% increase from 2024. The park, which sits 300 feet above the river on a 150-acre bluff, has become an increasingly popular destination for both local residents and tourists from across the Kansas City region. Park officials attribute the surge to improved trail conditions, expanded parking facilities, and increased promotion through social media.
