If you live in Saint Louis and you want to use the excellent, paved MEPRD Bike Trails, this is a good place to start. Parking is secure and there are flush bathrooms. I ride with a group that meets here weekly at 9am. We ride together on the MEPRD Trails, eat lunch somewhere along the ride, then return to our cars here. You can leave your house in St Louis at 8 am, ride, eat lunch, ride some more for a total of about 40 miles, and be home around 2pm. Great way to spend the day. This particular Trailhead is a great place for St Louis and Illinois bike riding friends to meet up.

If you enjoy bicycling you need to come to Madison County Illinois. You can travel from many cities to cities on dedicated bike/walk asphalt paths. With small restaurants and shops near the paths.

Nice all times of day.

Great trail to run and bike.

Nice set up

Nice flat trails, plenty of shade from trees, clean bathrooms, and a nice resting area. Will definitely be back!

Great public parking area for the great, heavily used Schoolhouse trail

Nice facility, right next to a Culvers, so you can get some food after a long walk or ride.

Great place for a stop along the trail. Water, bathrooms, parking, tools and maps

Nice facilities. Love the air station!

Awesome, safe environment

Beautiful location and well appointed trailhead for the Madison County Trails. There are well kept bathrooms, tools for emergency repairs, and of course plenty of water options. If you desire a quick bite, Culvers is a scant 200 yards away.

Perfect spot to start and end a bike ride. Lots of route options, clean facilities and plenty of parking.

Always a good place to walk or ride your bike on and they are planting new trees along the trail cant wait to see if come spring

Loved the pavement and the absence of automobile traffic. No hills though, nice leisurely, no stress ride. There are 7 different trails and most can be linked to provide an overall ride of 25-40 miles if you structure it right. If youre not a strong rider youll love these trails. 😀

Great place to hit the trails. Nice bathrooms, the drinking water fountain even has a dog option on it near the base! There are basic tools that you can use to make minor repairs available near the bathrooms.

Good starting point for the Schoolhouse Trail. Parking lot will fill up on weekends.

Just push the bathroom door to open. Dont use the handle.

Great biketrails. Cant find any better trail network. This is not just a single leg, but several connected legs that can be put together to make many unique rides. And most of the trails are quiet and away from roads.

You might as well enjoy them because your tax money paid for them

Great running, biking, or walking trail

Great place to start a ride. Close to many trails.

Great place to access the great MEPRD trail system. Nice facilities!

Good place to park your gasser and start pedaling!

Nice, but the bathrooms need help!

A great place to park and hit the trails. There is a water fountain, restrooms and an air pump.

Love it because its in such great condition. Only thing is watch where youre going because I hit a pole and went head over heels.

Love my 27 mile loop from Horseshoe Lake. Did it twice today and a few extras to get in 60.

Seems safe to park for MCT trail

Convenient. plenty of parking. quick access to MCT Trails.

Great place to ride
