Get Directions to Maline Greenway: Bella Fontaine County Park
Getting There
You can access the east side of Bella Fontaine County Park off Bellefontaine Road and the west side of the park off Highway 367/Lewis & Clark Boulevard.
Each greenway is managed in cooperation with different municipalities and parks departments, who set the rules for greenway use, parking and hours of operation. This greenway is managed by St. Louis County Parks Department. Please be sure to follow all posted rules and regulations while you are living life outside!
Things to Do

Trail Details
1.97 Miles
This 2 mile paved trail connects to existing paved trails within Bella Fontaine Park- the Maple Tree Trail, Cardinal Trail and Fox Den Trail. It is mostly flat and sunny. It crosses Maline Creek in three locations and also goes beneath Highway 367/Lewis and Clark Blvd. Together, the paved trails create a loop trail around the park and also connect to surrounding neighborhoods. As you walk or ride, you can enjoy natural areas that include an upland woodland and a restored prairie. There is a storybook walk along this greenway near the baseball fields!
