Hidden away in St. Charles County, Klondike Park in Augusta offers a cozy atmosphere, spanning just 250 acres and offering all of the amenities you'd expect at a local park.
While swimming is not permitted in the river at Klondike Park, you'll still find plenty to do, even if it just means plopping onto a river-side bench and admiring the scenery.
Klondike Park's white sand is the result of its past as a silica sand quarry. Today, the park sits along the popular Katy Trail and boasts a few of its own trails.
No matter how close you live to the park, you might also want to make an evening or a weekend of it. Klondike Park features six cabins and 43 campsites.
