Meramec Greenway

5.12 Miles

This 5.1-mile paved trail connects two popular St. Louis County Parks: George Winter and Unger Park. It is flat, with both shade and sun, and offers scenic views of the Meramec River. Please note that a portion of this trail goes off road for cyclists; people who are walking or running can use a sidewalk.

In between the two county parks, you will find Fenton City Park, Riverside Golf Course and Sunset Hills’ Minnie HaHa Park.

If you are heading towards George Winter Park: The paved trail ends southeast of the Highway 30 bridge near Old Towne Fenton at the intersection of Water and Mound streets. People who are walking can remain on the sidewalk. There is not a lot of traffic in this part of Fenton, so most people on bikes will feel comfortable riding on the street for a few blocks to connect to the next section of trail that goes to George Winter Park. Stay on Water Street until you get to Old Gravois, look to your left and you will see a Bridge going over the Meramec River, there is a separated path for people who are walking or riding bikes that will take you to Minnie HaHa Park.

To go to George Winter Park, you need to cross Old Gravois to get to Opps Street, which is across the street and slightly to the left of Water Street. There is a Metropolitan Sewer District Plant straight ahead, and City of Fenton signage that will direct you toward the trail that leads to George Winter Park. You will see it on your left.

If you are heading toward Unger Park from George Winter Park (slightly northwest): The trail will end near a Metropolitan Sewer District plant. Continue towards Old Gravois Road (which is visible ahead). You will see a Meramec Greenway sign. Cross the road and follow Water Street until you get to the intersection of Mound and Water streets where the off-road, paved trail begins again. The trail is off road from this point all the way to Unger Park.
