honestly I have been riding all over the st louis area this is really the best flowing track out here period with the exception of indian camp creek that is not even finished yet sigh.

This is an awsome trail in part because no walking is required and its tight so feels very fast.

I was looking for this trail a while back and couldn't find it. Is it in a park or something? Are there any landmarks I should look for that help identify the track? Thanks.

the directions are incorrect. Highway 94 runs east/west as evidenced by its even number designation. therefore, from highway-40 one would take 94 WEST ~5 miles

The local IMBA club, GORC, has been doing wonders to this trail. Drains very quickly so always one of the first in the area to be rideable. Singletrak is smooth and flowy. This is a great trail for getting in a good 9 mile workout without beating yourself up on a bunch of rocks.

Rode the trail for the first time since the first half of the trail had been redone. With the modifications to the back portion of the trail and now the front side.. the trail in MUCH better than before. More single track and less service road trail!

I recently rode this trail after avoiding it for a couple years and it has improved. The new section is some good singletrack. Be careful about riding it during hunting season. I once rode up on a guy standing in the middle of the trail firing a shotgun into the woods! Very easy ride, few obsticles, rocks, no drop-offs. (yawn)

This is a fairly easy trail but it is still fun to do.

My wife and I rode this trail in September and had a blast!!! We walked some of the steep up hills, but the long down hill in the last half was a blast as was the double track. The single track in the woods for the last mile or so, after the creek crossing, really needs some markers--we thought we were lost and she almost bailed!! We rode counter clock wise
