EVENT DESCRIPTION:
We’ll meet at 9:30AM at the Klondike Park Boat Launch parking lot on Hwy 94 – this is the same parking lot for the Miss Augusta. We’ll start our hike directly across the Katy Trail at the Klondike Park entrance trail. We’ll then hike up the blacktop paved hill to Klondike Park, around the Lake Loop Trail, up to the lookout, back down to the Katy Trail, and then back to the parking lot. The hike is approximately 4 miles total. Total hiking time is approximately two hours including restroom and water breaks.
At the conclusion of the hike, we’ll drive to the Good News Brewery in Defiance for lunch and fellowship. The brewery has ample parking, indoor and outdoor seating to accommodate the weather and group’s preference.
From Hwy 40/61:
* Exit Hwy 94 and go South.
* Continue through the town of Defiance (obey speed limit signs).
* Approx 2.5 miles past the town of Defiance, the Klondike Park Boat Launch parking lot will be on your left.
This is an easy to moderate hike on pea gravel trails and blacktop paved paths. There is one moderate ascent from the KATY trail to Klondike Park, and another one to the lookout.
