When finished, the Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower will rise 180 feet with observations decks at 50, 100, and 150 feet that are accessible by both stairs and an elevator. These decks will provide visitors with a picturesque panorama of the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers to the West as well as a view of the industrial landscape that characterizes the region east of the rivers. In addition, the tower will serve as an interpretative center highlighting the past, present, and future of the Riverbend area.

When the site plan is completed, it will include a 350 seat amphitheater for public and private events, as well as bike access from the Confluence bike trail that tops the levee adjacent to the Tower site. This trail links the many attractions along the Great River Road.
