    Beautiful in the snow!

    I have been coming here since before it was a county park. (Sneaking in afternoon hours). Since becoming a park my wife and I have enjoyed many sunsets from the view above the conference center. A great place for a picnic. We have brought our children here through their childhood and had many great afternoons exploring the trails around the park. With access to the Katy Trail, bring a bike and spend the day sIghtseeing the beauty of the area.

    Very nice park not too far from Saint Charles. Multiple different hiking trails and people can even rent cabins/ camp areas! You can fish in the lake and look at all the awesome wildlife. I saw turtles, many bird species, bass, and cacti!

    What what I DO FOR A KLONDIKE PARK? This is a unique Park overlooking the Missouri River valley in wine country with an interesting past. The land was donated by a wealthy doctor who had purchased a silica mine. There is a lake in the park with white sand beaches from the silica used to make glass. Bring a picnic lunch and grab a bottle of wine at a local winery and have your own picnic here. Great hiking, biking and scenic overlooks.

    Beautiful views and in close proximity to all of the Augusta wineries=a win-win for sure! I visited Klondike Park on a sunny weekday afternoon last week and was definitely pleased. We ended up hiking about four miles on various trails and terrains, with beautiful views of the Missouri River and the forestry surrounding the Augusta area. There was a 2 mile trail that was challenging and provided a little bit of shade via tree cover which was greatly appreciated in the somewhat muggy Missouri May weather! I'd definitely recommend Klondike Park as an alternative to Castlewood Park. While the drive is a little bit longer/further west and Klondike Park itself doesn't provide as many trail options, the Lewis and Clark trail is within close proximity, providing more hiking/biking/running space for miles along the Missouri River. I hope to be back to continue exploring Klondike Park sometime soon!

    Very nice hidden park in St. Charles County! There's camping, hiking, fishing and even kayaking! The lake has great views of the bluff and has white sand. The overlook is easily accessible to all travelers. Hiking trails are easy to moderate and good for animals and kids. Overall, a decent place to spend a Saturday!

    My mom loves this park more than a lot of things in life. Me and my girlfriend planned a camping trip for Mother's Day weekend for her. The weather was perfect and booked it last minute. Klondike Park is located off highway 94 in Augusta, Missouri by the river. The park is very spacious that connects to the Katy trail for bikers to make a pit stop at for a quick picnic. There are various campsites that are: Cabins which run about $65, Basic campsites with electrical outlets and primitive camping. We were late to the party and had to settle with a primitive campsite. We ended up getting the short end of the stick and getting the sites that were close in proximity to other campers. It was a Saturday and it was very busy so we were neck and neck. There are primitive spots that are more secluded as well. Make sure you reserve your spot at least a couple weeks in advance and months for a busy holiday weekend. The campsite we were at was a little crowded but it was quiet at the same time. I love how there are rules such as quiet hours at 10PM. You can still hangout by the fire, but things start to dwindle down by then. The lake is beautiful with plenty of places to fish. Fishing is catch and release only. There is also a walking trail that goes up to the top of the cliff for s beautiful view of the river. The bathroom was what impressed me the most. They were so clean and maintained better than most places. A lot of parks leave the bathrooms to rot, not here. There is also a shower house and kitchen for people to use. 5 stars here. I was very impressed with the Rangers. We had two Rangers check up on us to see if everything was okay. They were polite and you felt you were being taken care of. They will make people leave right away if you camp without a reservation. It's the rules and I don't blame them for it. There are a list of rules you agree to before camping, PLEASE READ THEM. It's a great place to bring the family because there isn't any wild drinking or loud parties going on. The Rangers will not let that happen. Feel free to bring pets too! I didn't have any problems with raccoons bot any other scavengers which is a good thing. Overall this place is a great place to camp, fish or just have a quick day trip at. There's things to do for all ages including a new modern playground. Give it a try, and get out of the house! It's only 30 minutes out of Weldon Springs.

    Beautiful park and beautiful lake. Loved the white sand in the middle of Missouri. Good place to kayak and just dip in water on a hot day.

    Perfect place for a day trip, picnic, nature hike, or camping trip-it's right off the Katy Trail, so you've got that option, too.

    Also the park is close to the Augusta wineries and brewery so fun overnight stop on the Katy Trail.

    This is a nice park in the heart of Chesterfield. However, despite being in the heart of…read moreChesterfield (close to the interstate, the amphitheater and library), it was very quiet and hardly anyone was there. We came to see the Sculpture "The Awakening" which is a massive sculpture of a giant who is struggling to get out of the ground. It's not a single sculpture but five separate sculptures that make up "The Awakening". Great park to visit - not only for the sculpture but for some peace and quiet.

    My husband and I came here when we came to St. Louis last week initially because I wanted to see…read more"The Awakening" sculpture, but overall, we loved it for many other reasons, as well! When we first got here, we noticed the park is in a pretty secluded area, and not many people were around unless they were going to the library that is connected to the parking lot. There are so many different parts of this park, including "The Awakening" sculpture, an amphitheater, a walking trail with a waterfront, and a Veterans memorial. The park was very clean, and we loved everything we experienced. The sculpture was so cool and is basically a steel man broken up into different separated body parts, who looks like he is trying to free himself from the ground. It's unbelievable how big this is in person, and we loved it. The Veterans Memorial was gorgeous and included significant quotes, a fountain, and American flags with every branch of the military included. The waterfront and trails were gorgeous, and we saw many HUGE ducks, cardinals, and wildlife. We loved the isolated walking trail because it had such beautiful views. Homes are being built around there, too, and the water would be such a gorgeous view to have every day from a home window. We weren't able to go to the amphitheater because they were getting ready for a summer night free concert event, but when we left, many people were gathering to go to the event. You can bring your own beer as long as it's in a can, so that's awesome and unlike many other public areas! Overall, if I lived in St. Louis, I could see myself regularly coming to this park and the surrounding area often. It's definitely a tranquil place where you can be one with nature and enjoy the views and entertainment.

    We hiked 3 miles at the Matson Hill Park near Defiance/Augusta off 94. Within the fist 5 minutes,…read moreif you head counterclockwise, you'll come across a sinkhole on the right side of the path. There are several small stream crossings, but plenty of rock bridges to keep your feet dry. We were impressed that the trail was clear of rots/rocks/overgrowth. Makes sense that the trail was also intended for bikers. The trail was built by mountain bikes for mountain bikers, but the day we visited, there was a sign at the trailhead that said "hikers only." There was so much shade on this trail. Perfect for a hot summer day. The trail has a few loops depending on if you want to hike the smallest 1ish mile trail, the 3 mile hike on the Matson Hill Loop, or the 2 add-on trails: 3 miles Hays Trail and the 2 mile Oxen Mill Trail. The maps at the trailhead and throughout the trail indicate the historic 1830s stone homes on the property were closed to visitors. Checking out the St. Charles County website now, the Hays and Boone family homes are open to the public again after a renovation in 2020! We almost hit a deer on the side road after getting off 94. Just keep your eyes peeled and your speed appropriate on the curving roads.

Trails include more than six miles of natural surface paths that wind and curve and roll across the landscape.
