Next we went to the fishery and park around a river/spring that feeds into the Missouri. It's right on the river and you can see various birds floating on or flying over the water.
After that we went down-river to Rainbow Falls, which wasn't much of a falls with the new construction. A dam blocks off the river to feed it into a new generator plant. The river picks up again around the bend but the falls themselves are pretty dry. While we were at the lookout point there was a crowd of people who apparently just finished racing down the river. There was a tent in the middle of the parking lot and a lot of people around it. Other than overhearing some announcements, I didn't try to find out much more.
The last stop was the city visitors center which has a large traditional monument to Lewis and Clark near the parking lot and a life-size abstract Native American sculpture out front of the visitor center. There is also a great view of the city.
All and all a nice relaxing day.
