Run at Dirt 66 Trails at Fellows Lake
Dirt 66 Trails at Fellows Lake While Fellows Lake itself offers a plethora of activities in its beautiful setting, the trails here are the best our city has to offer for new mountain bikers. Much of the trail is considered beginner level, while some of the downhill is more intermediate. It’s easy to pick a section to ride, and come back another day for some new dirt!
Run at James River Greenway Trail
James River Greenway Trail has three one-mile segments. One segment connects the James River iron bridge north to the end of the former frontage road (Gasconade Avenue) that crosses over Highway 65 and connects to an on-street bicycle loop to and from Sequiota Park. The second segment of the trail is along the north bank of Lake Springfield Park, from the park entrance to the boathouse on the lake shore. The third segment is a one-mile trail section called the Trail of Honor, that meanders along the banks of the beautiful James River and the edge of the Missouri Veteran’s Cemetery.
Tom Watkins Park
Tom Watkins Park offers a nice, full 18-hole Disc-Golf course that has some challenging holes with trees and elevation obstacles. If you’re ready for a step above beginner level, this one’s for you!
