Directions:
From Eureka, take Interstate 44 east 1 mile to Williams Rd. Turn east (left) on the outer
road and travel just under 1 mile to the equestrian trailhead lot on the right. It is a gravel lot.
If you get to the turn under Highway 44 you've gone too far.
From St. Louis, take Interstate 44 west 23.4 miles to Highway 109. Turn left under
overpass, and turn left again to get back onto Interstate 44 eastbound. Follow directions
from Eureka above.
To exit Route 66 SP, enter Interstate 44 east at Williams Rd. If your destination is west,
exit at the next exit, Lewis Rd, turn left and cross over the interstate, and turn left again to get
back onto Interstate 44 westbound.

Trail Notes:
Extremely easy, single track corridor mixed with road riding within the park. Almost
perfectly flat through most of the park. Much of it is chip and seal surface so it's good
for wet weather riding. It's also a great place to start your horse out at the beginning
of the riding season to get into shape. There are few hazards to watch out for: bike
riders and people out for a walk, many with kids and strollers, you'll ride around traffic,
under the I-44 bridge, along side of I-44, and along side an active railroad track. Lots
of deer and turkey here.
