Confirmed from Mississippi Greenway Trailhead: Jefferson Barracks' 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 Mississippi Greenway Trailhead: Jefferson Barracks
“A solid, gorgeous walk, easy out and back, with many great things to look at along the way.”
My favorite, daily walking trail. A solid, gorgeous walk, easy out and back, with many great things to look at along the way. I cannot wait until they expand it to connect with the rest of the Greenway.
Lovely place to walk with scenic views of the Mississippi River and barge traffic. Start at the War Memorial in JB park and stroll to the Casino and back. Paved trail is a bit narrow in places and not everyone is practicing social distancing.
Nice trail but I (along with many others) really wish they'd do more with it. 1 mile is not enough. Let's start catching up with St. Charles and prioritizing greenways!
Jefferson barracks just one of my favorite parts to ride through and walk through. We have family reunions there
