Jefferson Barracks Park to River City Casino
This section of the Mississippi River Greenway offers magnificent views of the river as it stretches from Jefferson Barracks County Park north along the river. You can have a picnic or connect to historic Jefferson Barracks – a U.S. Army Post that dates back to 1826.
The extension of this trail from its current endpoint on the northern side of the Casino parking lot to the existing trail in the River des Peres Greenway is complete between Alabama and Broadway. However, the remainder of the extension from Broadway to the River City Casino is temporarily on hold awaiting Metropolitan Sewer District repairs to the banks of the River des Peres along the path of the greenway as well as some sewer line improvements. These matters will need to be addressed before the remainder of the trail can be constructed. Stay tuned for updates on when the last stretch of greenway will be built.
When complete, you will be able to walk, run or ride all the way from Jefferson Barracks Park to the Shrewsbury-Lansdowne Metrolink station. You'll also be able get to Carondelet Park and the Christy Greenway without ever leaving the ADA accessible path!
You can explore the many trails crisscrossing Jefferson Barracks Park, visit two museums and watch the barges as they make their way up and down the river. Or, if you want a little peace and quiet, relax on a park bench and enjoy the sunshine, solitude and views.

You can also visit the new Pavilion at Lemay Park that features a gym, outdoor pool, indoor track and fitness classes.
The historic Notre Dame Motherhouse and Notre Dame High School is just up the hill behind the paved trail and you can also see the bluffs on the Illinois side of the river. Restrooms are available at the trailhead at Gark & Bagby.
