What a beautiful walking trail right in town! Smooth and paved for miles of easy walking. Half the trail is the neighborhood and the other half is the woods with a creek. Peaceful water sounds the whole walk. Dog waste stations and lots of friendly pups and people out exercising. No real shade, so go on a cooler evening when it’s dry. Not a hiking experience but a beautiful smooth walk for exercise.
rode entire trail in August heat!! used shuttle services in St. Charles and Jefferson City(red wheel bike shop) . worked out great!! Trail around St. Charles under repair after recent flooding but can get through it. Jefferson City to Boonville the nicest section. From Boonville to Sedalia it seemed uphill for the first 4 miles out of Boonville!! Because of the time of year, there were very few other bikers. Nice little stops along the way with information boards-lot of history. Great memories!!!
Hope someday it will continue to the Katy Trail Eastern terminus just a few miles away… not much to see but cars yeah a few birds by the river backwater… across the road, the blacktop rd to the bird sanctuary and river confluence is much better.
I’m a rookie road cyclist (like 2 days of experience) and appreciated being able to figure out my bike cleats with minimal cross traffic stopping or ANY stops for that matter. I think the trail sharing industrial areas is ok. I did need a friendly cyclist to point the way to trail, and even then I made wrong turns. I recommend painting a line from the Biddle lot to the flood gate to get visitors on trail. The highlight for me was crossing Chain of Rocks Bridge. Great view of the Big Muddy!
This was a great ride. We went through the only original tunnel on the trail built in 1893. We had lunch at the Meriwether Cafe. Trail is in great condition and Boonville has a beautiful depot, gift shop,, and museum.
Great little trail connecting Aquaport to Creve Coeur Park. A few bridges to cross and one large hill but otherwise fairly scenic. Parking lot access on both ends.
No shade on this trail but it was really smooth and we rode it on a day when it was in the 70s
We road from the Sundermeier RV park in St Charles to the end of the trail in Machens. It was a really smooth and relatively flat ride. We only had a couple of days to ride and will definitely come back to ride more of this trail.
We tried to walk on the bridge and the gate was locked with no sign posted notifying of a reason for the closure.
Trail is interesting and well maintained. The bridge that was causing a detour is now open as of last week. We ate at the general store in Rocheport, delightful.
I guess I tried this trail on a bad day. I will try it again when the construction is complete. May 3, 2022 the trail is under construction around Rocket Park and the Ball Park. The trail is closed there. Rode up Marshall Road all the way to Brentwood to try and get on the trail. Crossing the street to get to the Loraine park side of the trail was difficult. The 4 wheelers coming down Marshall were not being very respectful of us two wheelers. So I tried the crosswalk method that puts you onto a sidewalk. The ride around the park was pleasant and the concrete trail was in nice shape. I followed the trail back to go back to my starting point past rocket park and on to the shopping mall where I started. Back up Marshall (so so) to get on pacific. Pacific is a really quiet street. Made it back to the trail and came upon the other side of construction closed trail. At least at this point I could see the shopping center across the ball field in front of me. So I decided to ride across the outfield. Now I was faced with crossing another 4 lane road Laclede Station. There is a tunnel under the road. Maybe I should have selected that route. But This was another cross walk for safety to the shopping center.
