Understanding the address: where USP Leavenworth is and what to confirm before you travel
Before hitting the road, plug the right street address into your GPS. A quick check of a few local resources now saves you from scrambling once you arrive in Leavenworth.
The United States Penitentiary in Leavenworth is at 1300 Metropolitan Ave. Use the full street address - searching just the facility name can pull up the wrong location, especially if you're coming from out of town.
Tip: Put “1300 Metropolitan Ave.” into your mapping app exactly as written before you leave so you can confirm the route and travel time.
If you need to get your bearings or plan other stops around your visit, local visitor resources can help. The Leavenworth Convention & Visitors Bureau publishes a "Leavenworth CVB Travel Guide 2025" with city maps and points of interest - handy for orienting yourself once you're in town.
