Apparently, after one of the floods, there was a permanent pool of water formed off of Highway 94. The landowners opened it up to the public so people could lay out there and wade in the water. Nobody here in the office knows whether it's still open for people to go visit, but I'm sure you can still drive by where it is/was. You'll have to get to North Hwy 94. You can do that by taking Hwy 370 to the 3rd Street/94 exit and taking it north or if you are coming from downtown St. Charles, follow 3rd Street north until it crosses 370 and becomes Hwy 94. Follow 94 north and you should see the spot on your right. If you hit Hwy B, you've gone too far. Hope this helps. Okay, so after some investigation I learned a little about what Sun Tan Beach was.

I recall my dad driving crossing the "old" bridge (before Interstate 70) into St Charles, then turning right, and driving about 10 minutes or so. Sun Tan Beach was on the right side of the small "country" highway. Does Sun Tan Beach still exist? When I googled it, I couldn't find any info on it. Can you give me any info and/or better directions? Thanks. Ron About 45 years ago, I have great memories of having many family gatherings at Sun Tan Beach.

Those courts are some of the very few lighted tennis courts in St. Charles county. They are always nearly full with tennis player every time I go (meaning they are being used frequently). A 1999 survey is 10-years-old now. Tennis is back on the rise, or haven't you heard? They should stay as tennis courts.

If your looking for a nice flat, straight surface this is the trail. I know the trail system is under development, but it leads to pretty much a dead end right now. The intersection at Charlestowne is pretty dangerours to cross, I know there is a new state of the art alert system notifying drivers of the crosswalk but that whole intersection is a mess. My family will enjoy and use the trail but look forward to the completion or expansion of the system. thx The Trail is very nice. If your looking for a nice flat, straight surface this is the trail.
