We wanted to share one of our favorite places to go walk our dogs that we visit frequently. The Meramec Greenway is just across the Meramec River from Arnold, Missouri. The main trail is paved and very easy to walk. The Lower Meramec Trail does not loop and is 2 miles long. There are some other trails that branch off that are natural/earthen trails, but we usually keep to the paved trail. Along the trail, you will see some beautiful views of the Meramec River and wildlife. Since the trail is close to the river, there are some low lying areas and is prone to flooding when the river rises and can sometimes be closed. We like the the trail during warmer months because it has a lot of shade, but be sure to bring bug spray to keep mosquitoes away. In cooler months, the trail can be protected from cold winds making it more pleasurable to walk compared to other parks and trails. Check out our pictures below.
