  • 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.

  • In the middle of a vast prairie, under a blazing sun, stood an old red barn. Its once-sturdy wood now weathered and crumbling, a testament to its many years of standing against the elements. But around its exterior, a vibrant tapestry of living vegetation had grown, draped around the structure like a cloak. Each blade of grass, each vine, and every leaf painted the barn in vivid color tones, almost hyper-realistic in their splendor.<br />
<br />
The locals of the nearby town called the barn "The Omen," as they believed it to be a fascinating gateway to another world. They whispered tales of hobgoblins and ghouls that roamed about the vast prairie, leaving behind their remnants in the form of the barn's tattered wooden exterior. The vegetation that had grown around the barn was considered a potent symbol of a life force that resisted even the most massive of threats.<br />
<br />
Some dared to go near and tried to peer inside the old barn, hoping to glimpse a taste of the supernatural wonders within. However, each time they did, the forcefield surrounding the barn fiercely warded them off, sending them flying back onto the ground. The locals believed this was an indication of the barn's power, as it could only be accessed by those worthy enough to enter.<br />
<br />
Generations passed, and the Omen remained a mystery. But tales retold through the years revealed that the barn once housed a secret order of ancient druids, who performed mystic rituals in its chambers. The living tapestry around the barn, the locals whispered, was a manifestation of their powers, a testament to their profound abilities in controlling the natural world.<br />
<br />
And so, the Omen, with its old red barn and weathered wooden structure, remained as a witness to the wonders of the supernatural and as a reminder of the fascinating connection between nature and magic. The vast prairie around it remained a mystery to many, but perhaps those who dared to look at the Omen deeper would uncover secrets beyond their wildest dreams.

  • Once the site of a silica sand quarry, Klondike Park is a glowing example of nature's resiliency. Located just off the Katy Trail, the 250-acre park is a popular destination for outdoor recreationalists, families, and youth activity groups. Natural and paved trails wind through tree-lined hillsides to offer a challenging ride or hike and spectacular views of wildlife, native plants, and the surrounding Missouri River Valley. An indoor conference center that may be rented for weddings, business meetings, and other group functions; three picnic shelters, camper cabins and tent camping sites; a fishing lake; a boat ramp for access to the Missouri River; and about 5 miles of paved or natural trail.<br />
<br />
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.

  • Taken near Marthasville, Missouri this Old Dilapidated Barn was just begging to be photographed. I love old barn shots, something very calming to me about them for some reason.<br />
<br />
Marthasville is located near the site of the early 1763 French fur trading post named La Charrette. It was founded by Dr. John Young in 1817 and named after his first wife Martha Fuqua.<br />
<br />
The Missouri, Kansas and Eastern Railroad was completed through Marthasville in the winter of 1892 and taken over by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad (MKT) in July of 1893.<br />
<br />
The area is also full of historical importance, both local and national. The Lewis and Clark Discovery Expedition overnighted here in 1804 on their way up the Missouri and again on the way home in September of 1806. Daniel Boone and his relatives lived in the area. He and Rebecca were buried on the Bryan farm. His gravesite is just one mile east of Marthasville.<br />
<br />
The region was widely settled by German immigrants during the 1800's who brought their wine making skills with them and were attracted to this Missouri River Valley which has become known as the Missouri Rhineland.<br />
<br />
Some of the many attractions in and around the area are; the KATY State Park Hiking and Biking Trail, the Lewis and Clark Trail, and the Daniel Boone Monument. You'll find the finest wineries tucked in along our scenic drives through the hills and along the Missouri River.
