The Ted Jones Trail runs for 2.2 miles between the town of Ferguson and the University of MissouriSt. Louis (UMSL), where it joins with the
St. Vincent Greenway on the west side of campus. From Ferguson south the trail runs roughly parallel to, and between, both Florissant Road and Bermuda Avenue.
When the Ted Jones Trail reaches Interstate 70, it goes under through a 392-foot-long tunnel, which is beautifully decorated with a 3-D mural. The public art was designed and created by local artists who engaged high school students to participate.
