A leisurely day at the beach just might be the most idyllic way to spend a scorching summer day in Missouri. But some of the most popular beaches can get crowded, where we find ourselves elbow to elbow with others who just want to combat the rising temperatures. You might not have that problem when you visit this remote lake in Kaolin Township, Missouri. You might, in fact, be on the verge of meeting your new favorite summer destination.
Make your way to Mark Twain National Forest next time you're craving an old-fashioned beach day. That's where you'll find...
The beach is just a small part of the larger 10,860-acre Council Bluff Recreation Area.

Keep an eye out for the parking lot that will lead you to Chapel Hill Beach, a sandy stretch of beach that spans 1.25 acres. It's just a short stroll from your car to the beach.
For some of the best views of the lake, follow the Council Bluff Trail. The 12-mile trail is considered between easy and moderate due to some rocky terrain and climbs.
