Discover Riverfront Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

Riverfront Park was created in 1984 with funds from the local and state governments, to restore the land and build a park that would act as both wildlife habitat and public outdoor recreation space. It is located in Lawrence, Kansas, on the Kansas River as it flows through the city, granting citizens a green zone where they can go to relax. The park has been planted with a variety of types of grass, plus shrubs and trees; all of these have created an idyllic atmosphere but also provide a source of food for the birds and mammals that congregate in the park.

Getting Outdoors

While visiting the park in your Lawrence camper rental, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy several activities, the most obvious one being bird watching. You can combine this, though, with other activities such as picnicking and hiking. There are picnic areas throughout the park, and some of them may be near the overlook areas where you can look down on the Kansas River. The entrance to the park has two rows of limestone boulders, one on either side of the entrance path, that add a sense of grandeur.

Natalie's RV was perfect for my lake weekend with family. The pick up and return was very efficient. Natalie was a great host who walked me through the RV pointing out all pertinent information. Her communication was great during all aspects of the rental. I will definitely rent from Natalie again in the future.
