Get out on one of these beautiful greenways this weekend!

🍁 How beautiful are these trails? 🍁Fall is a great time for a walk or bike ride around St. Louis. @greatriversstl has developed 140 miles of trails around St. Louis and here are 7 of our favorite trail segments to try for fall. 📍Rock Hollow Trail 🍁Meramec Greenway 📍 Wildwood Park at the Ridge Meadows Elementary School trailhead or walk in from the Al Foster Trail to see beautiful trees and over a dozen bridges along a paved path. ⚠️ Note that the trail will be closed October 28-30 at this trailhead for tree maintenance 📍Al Foster Trail 🍁Meramec Greenway 📍Wildwood This gravel trail passes beautiful bluffs with great views of the Meramec River. You might even see a mini-train go by! 📍Cliff Cave Park 🍁 Mississippi Greenway 📍St. Louis This wonderful park offers paved trails with a river overlook, shaded trails, and even a cave! 📍Duckett Creek Trailhead 🍁Busch Greenway 📍Weldon Spring This hidden gem pathway follows a creek with multiple bridges, a tunnel of trees, and connection to the Katy Trail. 📍Jefferson Barracks Park 🍁 Mississippi Greenway 📍 St. Louis This path leads north from Jefferson Barracks Park to follow the river with wonderful views. 📍St. Vincent Park & Forest Park 🍁St. Vincent Greenway 📍 St. Louis A shaded segment of this Greenway leads through St. Vincent Park or start behind the Missouri History Museum at Forest Park to follow the trail to connect to more parks, playgrounds, and a storybook walk. 📍Chain of Rocks Bridge 🍁 Mississippi Greenway 📍 St. Louis Park at the renovated Chain of Rocks Park on the Missouri side to walk across the Mississippi River. The trail is extra scenic at sunset! Have you explored any of these trails? #greatriversgreenway #explorestlouis #visitmo
