Confirmed from Missouri Greenway Trailhead: Monarch Chesterfield Levee Trail'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.
Kid-friendly paved hiking area that's good for biking and set behind a shopping center.
What runners say about Missouri Greenway Trailhead: Monarch Chesterfield Levee Trail
“Well kept and flat, good use for other activities like walking and biking.”
“Highly recommended for anyone to enjoy a nice, scenic route by the Chesterfield Commons!”
“This is a great trail for walking, running, or biking near the valley’s hustle and bustle”
Nicely maintained paved trail for walking, running, and biking. In 2016 it was connected to the new Boone Bridge that (via a new separated bike/pedestrian lane) connects to Katy Trail.
Short trail around the suburbs of St. Louis. Lovely place for an evening walk.
In town with my oldest daughter for a softball tournament and she wanted to find a place to run. There is parking here for several vehicles. The trail is on top of the levee so as far as security, one should feel safe because you can see in all directions and there are no trees or obstructions near the trail.
My favorite spot in Chesterfield for running and walking. 2.2 miles from start to traffic light. Need to check if it connects to north side of the valley which will add 5 miles one way to bridge on the Missouri River
