Trail Info

4.5 Miles

This section of greenway has a 4.5-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. For more information about the County Heritage Museum, click here.
