Customer Reviews
This place can be a 5 or a 1 depending on why you want to go here. If you're looking for a nicely maintained county park to let your kids run around in. 1 star. But if you love the idea of walking a nature surrounded trail, and being alone with only you and whoever you brought along. Your experience will be 5 stars. The nature is beautiful, and there's an overlook over the meremac too! Also, there's three foundations for buildings that are unfinished
I would like to see the St. Louis County parks open this park it has been sitting closed for over 35 years that I know of what a waste of resources.
