This trail is nice but the section from the “The Orchards” to Eckards is very open and loud next to Green Mount Road. The parking at the beginning section in The Orchards golf course is a good hike prior to starting on the path with no sidewalks or designated crosswalks. And the street is hilly with turns and drivers mostly can’t see you crossing or walking on the side of the street. Also crossing where the path ends puts you in someone’s back yard , walking around the pool & tennis courts. Parking at the at one of the other options would be much safer especially with kids.
First trail for a family with 2 large e-bikes with small children. We just tried it at 1m from the top near Crestwood/kirkwood. Parking is clean and nice. A bathroom with compose toilet is different but interesting change. A couple of stops for cars. The splits (2 metal bars) that I guess help slow people feel a little tight for comfort but you get use to it. Just ride slow. 5min in and you get to a restaurant. It was closed when we tried but hoping to give it a shot. Oh less than 2min and 2 street crossings is a small park for kids. So more plus. Will update when we do the entire thing.
Nice paved bike path very woodsy and several bridges and several secondary roads. We were surprised to see the police patrolling the path but very reassuring.
Just be aware that the portion of the trail at Jefferson Barracks is only a mile long. It is beautiful and well taken care of though, and there are other suitable trails in the park.
Have to say I didn’t really enjoy this trail ride. Very little shade. Prefer the MCT trails in IL over by Edwardsville. Trail was nicely paved. Several roads to cross. Some quick side trails you can do. Urban most of the time. Did like seeing the horses by Grants farm.
I would have given this 4 stars if the trail was resurfaced and smooth.
We started at whispering pine loop and turned around at north Sandusky campground, this trail ended here. Such a great trail a few crazy spots behind the lake, but a fun trail to ride all concrete trail. We got rained but that even made it a lot more fun. We laughed so much.
We visited the Gateway Arch and brought out our bikes hoping to ride this trail, especially after reading the reviews. We came down to the water’s edge from the Arch’s park area and first tried to ride north. We were having a great time seeing the historic Mississippi River and nearby bridges. But then suddenly it all just stopped as there is a construction wall that can’t be bypassed after about a mile or so. Okay, we head back past the Arch park heading south. Well, that ends heading into unknown streets in St. Louis. Total open trail near the Arch is less than 3 miles. Should have and highly recommend to check the trail open sections before riding. Otherwise it’s a beautiful trail. We just wish we could have ridden more of it.
This is a very nice, scenic - absolutely beautiful trail and you can either start out or end up at Eckerts!
