Centennial Greenway

Katy Trail to Heritage Museum

This segment of the Centennial Greenway stretches from the Katy Trail near the Page Avenue extension to the Heritage Museum in St. Charles County. There is also a .7 mile extension over Highways 364 and 94 so people can safely walk or ride a bike across these busy highways; connecting schools, neighborhoods, parks, and businesses to each other as well as other area attractions. They also connect the existing trail system to Wapelhorst Park in the City of St. Charles and Laurel Park in St. Peters.
This greenway offers a direct connection to the paved Creve Coeur Connector trail that takes you across the Missouri River and links up with the paved trails and other attractions in Creve Coeur County Park. You can use the Katy Trail to travel to Historic Downtown St. Charles and Frontier Park. You can also exit the KATY Trail at Olive Street and ride on the street to connect to the Boschert Greenway!

Trail Info

2.7 Miles

This section of greenway has a 2.7-mile asphalt trail that creates a vital link between the Katy Trail and St. Charles Heritage Museum Park. 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. 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. For more information about the County Heritage Museum, click here.
