Project Description

Missouri River Boat Dock at Klondike Park

St Charles County Parks & Recreation retained Intuition & Logic Engineering to design a new Missouri River Boat Dock at Klondike Park. The new 100 foot long dock is located immediately downstream of the existing boat ramp and will serve as a courtesy dock for boaters, watersport enthusiasts and fishing access for park visitors throughout the region.

Project Details

Key Personnel:

  • Tim Dean, PE, LEED AP, CFM
  • Matt Auld, PE, ENV SP

Project Features:

  • Feasability analysis
  • H&H design
  • HEC-RAS Modeling

The dock design includes gangways, river bank stabilization and debris deflection boom. The Missouri River stage can fluctuate over 38 feet and the floating dock is designed to rise and fall with the river mounted to a network of pilings. Solar navigation beacons are included on the upstream and downstream limits to alert commercial and recreational traffic. The gangways and asphalt trails connecting the gangways to parking are placed between the trees to leave natural bank vegetation largely undisturbed.
