The Whitest, Most Pristine Sand In Missouri Is Found At The Underrated Klondike Park
Most people probably don’t think of Missouri when they hear “white sand beaches.” Those thoughts usually go to such exotic places as Hawaii, the Bahamas, and the Maldives. However, those Missourians who have been to Klondike Park have uncovered a true hidden gem – the most pristine, whitest sand in Missouri. If you’ve not yet been to this white sand beach, you owe it to yourself to plan a visit.
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.
