  • A View From Under The Page Bridge Missouri River Crossing.<br />
<br />
The Creve Coeur Park Connector is now open!  This 3.6 mile long bike lane enables cyclists to use the Page Avenue / 364 bridge to cross the Missouri River, totally separate from automotive traffic.  On the west end, it connects to the Katy Trail at mile 42.8, just south of the Family Arena. On the east end, it connects to the Creve Coeur Park trails at the park's southwest corner.  It mostly runs parallel with hwy 364 (Page Ave). <br />
<br />
Take 270 to the Page/364 exit, heading west.  Go 6 miles to exit 14, Upper Bottom Road / Arena Parkway.  Go right (north), and take an immediate right on Hemsath.  Follow Hemsath for 0.3 mile, and take the right turn into the parking lot just after Hemsath curves left.

  • Route 364, known locally as the Page Avenue Extension, is a freeway that connects St. Louis County with St. Charles County via the Veterans Memorial Bridge over the Missouri River and is a designated auxiliary state route of I-64 that will connect I-64 in St. Charles County to I-270 in St. Louis County.

  • Take 270 to the Page/364 exit, heading west.  Once you're on Page, the second exit is Maryland Heights Parkway.  Exit here and go north.  The second stop light is Creve Coeur Mill Road; take a right.  Just after crossing over the railroad tracks, there is a park entrance on the left.  Proceed through the gates and up the hill.  You will see several parking lots next to the soccer fields.  There's also parking on the other side of the lake; to get there, follow Maryland Heights Parkway to Marine and go right

  • The view from the Trail - There's a parking lot with nearly 100 slots at the St Charles end of the bridge (photo below).  But it's at bridge level, high above the Katy Trail.  A paved ramp leads down to the trail.<br />
<br />
If you park there, save some energy to climb the ramp back up to the parking lot when you return.  It's a 1/4 mile of climbing: the switchbacks can be seen through the bridge's chain-link fence in the photo at left.  The Creve Coeur side involves a little bit of climbing, but it's a shorter ramp and a lower degree of incline than the ramp to the Katy Trail.
