Great Rivers Greenway is the public agency connecting the St. Louis region with greenways. In 2000, a vote of the people created a sales tax to leave a legacy for future generations by connecting three counties together with greenways. When complete, the concept calls for a 600 mile network of greenways connecting St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County. With collaboration by many partners and driven by input from community members, the greenways come to life piece by piece.
The map to the right shows the status on the 130+ miles (and counting!) we’ve built so far, with another almost 200 miles in planning.
Current Greenways
We have 20+ projects going at any given time – all in various stages of planning, design and construction. Learn more about the long-term plans and current status of these greenway projects by following the links below:



Projects In Planning
Great Rivers Greenway is currently working on several plans for several projects outside of the list of existing greenways above. Learn more about these projects and look for opportunities to provide your feedback to help inform the planning process!

Greenway on Hodiamont Tracks
The Hodiamont Tracks are an inactive space that have the potential to become a greenway where people could walk, jog, ride a bicycle, push a stroller, use a wheelchair or have a picnic. We have been working with members of the community to determine whether a greenway would be a good use for this corridor.

New St. Charles County Greenway
St. Charles County residents and stakeholders said that a greenway linking the existing Dardenne Greenway at St. Charles Community College with the KATY Trail is a high priority project. This was identified through the St. Charles County Greenway Master Plan. Great Rivers Greenway is working with community members, local municipalities and other stakeholders to plan this new greenway.
