Confirmed from Gravois Greenway Trailhead: Sappington House's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

What runners say about Gravois Greenway Trailhead: Sappington House

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (2 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Restrooms at this trailhead. The Barn restaurant is right there. Great place to grab a bite and go for a walk. Water set out to stay hydrated. We walked about .50 to the start of the trail near a park and walked back.

★★★★★ — Jill , May 2024

Eventhough it has been a while since I have been on this trail but now the 56 goes by this place while en route to Kirkwood. And I think MetroBus should have a stop at this trailhead for if the reroute is going to continue.
