How We Work
Description
The greenway is mostly flat and offers shade in the portion that travels through Bridgeton’s Riverwoods Park. You can enjoy the hardwood forest, wetlands and up-close views of the river. There are also restrooms, drinking fountains and picnic tables to make a day of it! The greenway continues along the the Earth City Levee, where you can walk, ride and get some fresh air in the sunshine all the way to the parking lot just past the Highway 370 bridge. You can also stop and rest on a bench or enjoy a picnic at one of the tables at the Riverwoods Park Trailhead.

Trail Details
4.70 Miles
This 4.7-mile paved trail is mostly sunny with close to 3 miles of shade in the portion through Riverwoods Park. Due to multiple flooding events, the middle section of the Riverwoods Trail along the Missouri River is now permanently closed. The greenway within the park is still open as an out-and-back path, but you will need to turn around at the points of closure. It is a quiet and peaceful trail tucked away along the Missouri River. It is a great trail for young children to ride their bikes or walk because it is flat and less crowded. It will appeal to anyone looking for a quiet, more rural paved trail for walking or bike riding. On the northern end of the greenway at 370, you can connect to a new separated walking and biking lane that will take you over the Missouri River where you can connect to the KATY Trail.
