Confirmed from Wyeth Hill'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.
Overlook, picnic tables and trails, plus a grassy area and bike ramps.
What runners say about Wyeth Hill
“Great view of the Missouri River, Northern Western corner of Missouri n northeast corner of Kansas state line.”
Im going to miss watching the sunset in this park and in general this town. Best views around Saint Jospeh area from this park. The park also has biking trails.
Cool spot to look at the Missouri river also has a picnic area and walking trails
Scenic park with many trails throughout the wooded area and grassy area. Bike trails as well as walking paths can be found, including bike ramps and sites for jumping while racing along the paths.I hadn't noticed any restrooms provided for public use, yet I wasn't there too long.
Great overlook on a bluff with the Missouri River below you as you look west into Kansas from Missouri. The river separates the 2 states here. Nice area with a shelter and picnic tables. No playground equipment and sloping terrain at this park.
Trail conditions & character
“This hideaway park is the perfect place for a panoramic view of the Missouri River border to watch a sunset and catch a glimpse of old St.”
“The only 2 things are that the shelter could use some attention and bathrooms would be nicer”
