Wathena rewards residents with small-town ease and wide-open horizons along the Missouri River, plus quick connections to regional opportunity just across the bridge in St. Joseph. Weekends swing from youth ballgames at local parks to scenic drives on the Glacial Hills, or a stroll along the storied paths of the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail, celebrated by the National Park Service. Annual traditions like the Wathena Fall Festival keep calendars full and neighbors connected.
Families value the strong schools of Riverside USD 114, which serves students in Wathena and nearby communities with academics, arts, and athletics that punch above their weight.

For farther-flung travel, Kansas City International Airport makes weekend getaways and business trips straightforward.
Outdoorsy types enjoy river views, fertile farmland, and crisp autumn orchards, while history buffs trace pioneer routes and river-town heritage.
