Chouteau Island trail

Chouteau Island is a very nice easy ride along the levies on nice flat ground. Because the ground on top of the levy is road like gravel you can ride here even when it rains. When riding please ride at the top of the levy or ride at the bottom of the levy on either the water side or woods side. No riding half way down on the levy walls (request by park officials to avoid wall erosion). The trail is shared with bikes and walkers but the trail has very little traffic.  Nice view of the canal and lots of deer and other wild life. The trail is around 11 miles. But you can shorten it to any length by just riding back the way you came. 

Directions

Directions to trail and parking area. Take you best route to Hwy 270 and route 3. Take route 3 south. Make an almost immediate right on West Chain of Rocks road.  You will cross over an old steel bridge. As you cross the bridge you will see at the end of the bridge a turn to the left.  Follow the dirt road to the T and take a left. This will put you headed under the bridge you just crossed. Park just before the bridge in the grass leaving room for others to get by on that dirt road.
