This was in the  Post-Dispatch yesterday, looks like a great place for a 
cache or two or 10. Too  bad it's not in my area.

TRAIL OF THE WEEK: Riverwoods  Trail

ST. LOUIS  POST-DISPATCH
06/11/2007
 



TRAIL OF THE WEEK: Riverwoods  Trail

Where: At the Missouri River and St. Charles Rock Road  about a quarter-mile 
west of the Earth City Expressway in St. Louis County.  

How long: 1.5 miles 

Surface: Paved and mostly  flat, but it can be muddy. 
 
 




Trail description: This is designed to be a  panorama trail for people who 
like scenery and wetlands with their walk. It  overlooks about a mile of the 
Missouri River and is mostly shaded. Look for  three overlook sites along the 
trail. Much of the overlook is of the St. Charles  Main Street recreation 
district and Frontier Park and the backside of a  casino-hotel. But the trail 
itself 
is quite pristine.

User's note:  There's a ribbon-cutting there at 11 a.m. June 20. It's a new 
trail. No drinking  water or restrooms. 

Wheelchair-accessible:  Yes.

Parking: Right turn off St. Charles Rock Road just before the  river.
