How We Work
Description
There is so much to see and do along and close to this greenway! You can spend some time at the Heritage Museum learning about both St. Charles County and Missouri state history. You can connect to the Spencer Creek Trail via McClay Road and walk or ride all the way to the St. Peters Rec Plex. If you take the Creve Coeur Connector Trail to Creve Coeur Park, you will be able to rent boats in Creve Coeur Park and connect to the existing paved trails in Creve Coeur Park (and Fee Fee Greenway!) These trails include the 3.7-mile paved Lakeview Loop, the 2.8-mile paved Meadows Loop Trail and the 2.6-mile paved Mallard Lake Loop Trail. For more information about the trails in Creve Coeur Park, go here.

Trail Details
3.88 Miles
This section of greenway has a 3.88-mile asphalt trail that creates a vital link between the Katy Trail, St. Charles Heritage Museum Park, Schaefer Park and the Spencer Creek Trail. It also extends over Highways 364 and 94 so you can safely walk or ride a bike across these busy highways to get where you need to go. The greenway travels along Page Avenue and residential neighborhoods in St. Charles County. It also runs parallel to Old Highway 94 (between Muegge and Hackman Rd), to Hackmann Rd and McClay Rd where it connects to the Spencer Creek Trail. There are several flat stretches on this greenway, but there is a long, steady and moderately steep hill between Upper Bottom Road and the Heritage Museum. It also connects to the 4.7-mile paved Creve Coeur Connector trail which has a separated bike lane on the Page Avenue Extension Bridge; making it possible to walk, run or ride all the way from Heritage Park to Creve Coeur Park. You can also take the Katy Trail to explore historic Main Street in St. Charles and Frontier Park.
