Ponca State Park, NE

      

The Richard King Mellon Foundation, assisted by the Fund, acquired 400 acres along the Missouri River to preserve an important segment of the Lewis and Clark Historic Trail. This gift, an addition to Ponca State Park, includes more than a mile of frontage on the river and bluffs containing upland game and expansive vistas of the Missouri River Valley. The addition secures important waterfowl habitat and invites canoeists and anglers.
