Beach- 1500 NE Bowlin Rd, Marina, next to beach. The most popular with power boaters and water skiers, Blue Springs is in Fleming Park, just north of Jacomo.
Marina- 7401 West Park Rd, the largest and most beautiful of the lakes (it's nestled in the woods), Lake Jacomo offers up a fisherman's dream. It's in the south end of Fleming Park.
Tours from 9:30AM to 4PM. In nearby Grandview (west of US 71), the home is fascinating to learn about for presidential history buffs. The home does have a skunk smell problem inside.
The final resting place of Cole, Robert, Jim, & Bursheba (the brother's mother) Younger, several of Quantrell's raiders, and prominent early citizens of the town. The self-guided walking tour is a great way to learn about these people and their role in Lee's Summit history.
Roughly bounded by 2nd, Green, 4th, and Douglas Streets. A vibrant mix of shops, restaurants, and midwestern flair, Downtown Lee's Summit is an important place to the locals. The original downtown burned down in 1880 and what you now see was constructed and completed by 1889. Two National Historic Districts are in the area. So see what downtown has to offer!
Inside the downtown train depot (built between 1903 and 1905 after the first two burned down) is a small but informative museum about Lee's Summit's history and the importance of the railroad.
