Confirmed from Meramec Greenway Trailhead: Marshall Road'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 Meramec Greenway Trailhead: Marshall Road
Nice shaded path. It's paved, wide and mostly flat. Easy access from several places with plenty of parking. It runs along the river and thru or near two parks with playgrounds, picnic tables and covered shelters. Has benches along the way to rest .There are even paths thru the woods near the hwy 141 end.
There is a great paved trail and walking path here with beautiful views of the Meramec River. The trail is conveniently located with parking access. It does have a public restroom and is a dog friendly park.
Paved trail along the Meramac that leads to Greentree Park in one direction and Arnold's Grove the other direction. Simpson Park is in the middle. Beware that parts of the trail along the river, although paved, are still muddy in some parts after heavy rains.
