  • Something Klondike Park has that many other area parks don't is tall, rocky hills where visitors can see over the tops of trees - which is especially advantageous for viewing autumn colors.<br />
<br />
The park is a converted rock quarry. Some high, rocky bluffs overlook the heavily forested interiors. The water in the lake is clear enough to watch fish and some large turtles as well as the array of dragon flies. Of the seven or so short hiking trails, two are unpaved. The Lewis and Clark Trail runs parallel to Highway 94 and is the easiest and longest. The unpaved Hogsback Trail is the most scenic. Some mountain bike routes will test your skills.<br />
<br />
Located in southwestern St. Charles County, Klondike Park is a 250-acre park, acquired by the County in 1999. This park lies adjacent to Highway 94, with access to the Katy Trail and the Missouri River. The Klondike Park site has, in the past, been heavily disturbed by quarry operations and is a study of nature's resiliency. Primitive, basic tent camping and camping cabins are all avialable for rental, and the new beautiful Curt Loupe Conference Center is available or meetings, special gatherings, and wedding ceremonies and/or receptions.

According to early records, the land upon which Klondike Park sits was originally owned by Wilhelm (William) Engelage, a farmer from Prussia. In 1898, the Tavern Rock Sand Company bought a portion of the property and began Klondike Quarry. The silica sand mined from this quarry was mixed with soda and limestone to create glass products. The top layer (from 8? to 18? was used to make amber glass because of its yellow, claystained color, while clear glass was made from the white sand found below 18 feet. Production reached its peak in 1945 when 233,420 tons of sand were exported from the quarry to meet war demands. The quarry was permanently closed in 1983.

  • Klondike Park has so much to offer, the lake loop is a nice walk for the family. It's also a great fishing spot. The trails in the park would be great for mountain biking. If you are a fan of mountain biking then this park is a must for it being so close to St. Louis. I like riding the Katy trail to this park and then take the paved trail up to the bluff overlook to watch the birds fly and see the Labadie Plant across the Missouri river.
