Erica has a practice of seeking out new parks, having visited approximately 70 parks and playgrounds in the St. Louis area. Nick has a favorite ride through St. Louis, across the Mississippi, and onto an extensive paved trail system in Illinois to the farming community of Marine and home of the Parkview Cafe. So Erica and the children drove to the Marine City Park while Nick and I biked.
We attempted to navigate to the Arch area on the riverfront, but could not find a bike able path amid extensive construction. Giving up after 20 minutes, we rode on towards Marine. My legs had not yet recovered, but a nice tail wind helped on the eastbound trail sections. I heartily recommend sampling these Illinois trails when in the area.
