From Main, ¼ mile north and west on 3rd, and at the fork take either turn up the hill. A viewing platform offers a panorama of the broad Missouri River Valley, as well as of Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and Iowa. 

For decades, folks have been going to that hilltop to see the river below and the four states. In the 1930s three concrete pillars were placed at the site of what is now known as the Four-State Lookout. The anchors were used to hold cables, since removed, that crossed the river. In the early 2000s as the White Cloud Tourism Committee was preparing for their role in the 2004 bicentennial celebration of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. It was decided to add a 16-foot by 24-foot platform with concrete ramp to the hilltop above the trees. An interpretive sign was placed to explain the Lewis and Clark Expedition in this area. 

Voted as one of the top 8 Wonders of Kansas - Geography. The photo was taken by Harland Schuster of Brown County for the 8 Wonders of Kansas Guidebook, a project of the Kansas Sampler Foundation.
