Nestled in Augusta in St. Charles County, Klondike Park stretches across 250 acres, boasting some of the most breathtaking scenery in Missouri.

Once the site of a silica sand quarry, the area was transformed into a park that draws visitors for its many activities and one feature, in particular - its white sand beach.

While swimming in Klondike Lake is not allowed, you still have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the white sand. How about, for example, going on a scenic hike?

You don't need much time - a half an hour tops - to follow the short, sweet, and breathtaking Klondike Lake Loop Trail, which spans just .06 of a mile.

Both dog-friendly and fun for the kiddos, the paved path passes over a charming bridge, and past...

Chiseled bluffs. This is one Missouri trail where you really need a camera. The photo opportunities are nearly endless.

After your scenic stroll, spend more time near the sandy shore. Enjoy a picnic; watch the kiddos at the playground, or go boating on the lake.
