Critters in the Winter

The St. Charles County Parks Department's mission since our founding in 1997 has been to preserve and protect natural and historic features in areas throughout the county for the use of future generations and create opportunities for people to engage in nature and activities while having fun. Today, the department has 22 parks, of which 19 are open and three in reserve, totaling 4,403 acres of acquired park land. From historic homesteads to a skate park; from camping, hiking, biking, and fishing to weddings and educational classrooms, there’s something for everyone in St. Charles County Parks.
