Augusta’s distinct charm within the city limits is matched only by its surrounding area.
For the more adventurous spirit, we have parks and outdoor opportunities that make for quintessential encounters with native Missouri wildlife. Taking a trip down the nearby KATY trail (by foot or bicycle) or hiking around Klondike State Park are just a couple of the ways you can have a full, holistically satisfying experience.
