Biking

There are several bike lanes in downtown.

The Riverfront Trail is a 12-mile asphalt multi-use trail that runs along the Mississippi River from Laclede’s Landing north to the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge. The trail provides an opportunity for users to experience historic and industrial sections of St. Louis as well as natural river scenery. Major attractions along the trail include the Laclede Power Center, “Reflections on a River” floodwall art mural, a native plant nursery, the Mary Meachum Freedom Crossing Underground Railroad Site (the first nationally designated Underground Railroad Site in the state of Missouri), North Riverfront Park and the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge. Trailnet worked with the City of St. Louis to plan and initiate trail construction. The trail has been incorporated into Great Rivers Greenway’s Mississippi Greenway.

The Brickline Greenway will connect Forest Park to the Gateway Arch.
