I mean. You can never go wrong when you visit this place…read more You think there's nothing more to life? Come here. You can think clearly up here just looking at that view. I had visited 5/18 with a few girlfriends. It had rained a day prior so there definitely were some muddy patches. We also encountered a black snake (too scared to take a picture- I ran away), a dead baby snake, a ton of cicada shells, spider webs in the way of our path, and some bees. We went around 11am and though the high was 84, it wasn't so bad since most of the trail is in the woods. I hadn't been here in a while but it seemed shorter than I remember. If you're looking for an hour-ish long hike, swing on by.

My boyfriend, his parents, and myself came out here to go jet skiing…read more Formally called Cuivre Island Conservation Area, the way you actually pronounce Cuivre is 'quiver'. It is a nice nature area nestled off Dalbow Road and near Highway 79. Here you have water access for your boats and jet skis. There are some spots available for picnicking and such too. I'd advise to arrive early if you intend on parking near the water access area since it has limited spacing for vehicles. The water that you will be getting in is a tributary off of the Mississippi River. Lots of people come down here to go fishing since they've got such an abundance of different fish such as bass, crappie, and catfish. Enjoy your visit!

Nice folks, beautiful setting, and an interesting and unique fishery. What's not to love!read more

River's Edge Park is an amazing place to get a workout in. This beautiful park has both gravel and…read moremulch paths for walking and running. Dogs seem to love this park. The lake has plenty of benches around the perimeter for viewing the scenery or taking a break. There is even a path to the river which makes for good photos. This Summer and Fall were both beautiful at River's Edge. I am looking forward to getting pictures of all four seasons at this park!

signage could have been better for those of us wanting to see the river. A word of caution though…read moreif you have kids or pets the bank is steep and can be slick and the river is unforgiving. Be careful!

I have lived in Fenton for 55 years and never heard of this park. There are no signs to show where…read moreit is and the only way there is driving to the end of a subdivision. This park is GREAT! It has a playground, a large pond with fish, pavilion, BBQ pits, many sitting areas, restrooms, and several paved walking trails that go through the wooded area. One of the trails goes to RiverChase and they are proposing another trail to Fenton Park. EXCELLENT!

I love to fish and am always looking for new places to try my luck. Learning that the lake is…read morestocked by MCD, I braved the morning rush hour traffic two days ago and drove there only to find out that the lake is empty. That's right ......no water. I'm a pretty good fisherman, but not that good. This park has an online website. Someone should and could have taken the time to post that info so that myself and others would know not to go there for fishing. Also, does the park open at 7:00 A.M., 8:00 A.M., or 4:00 A.M.? I have seen each of those times listed and do not know why the confusion. A disappointing waste of my time.

For a raw nature experience Howell Island is one of the top spots in the St. Louis area. By "raw" I…read moremean undiluted by development. Except for a gravel parking lot and a few informational signs there's little human imprint to Howell. However, if you're a mall walker, bothered by insects, or fastidious this isn't the place for you. It is a natural area with little maintenance. And it is an island. A hundred yards or so from the parking lot a narrow causeway provides pedestrian access. When the causeway floods, which isn't unusual, Howell is inaccessible except by boat. Though technically in St. Charles County, access to Howell is from St. Louis County off Eatherton Road in west Chesterfield. At over 2,500 acres there's plenty of roaming room. Bicycle and walking paths are mapped. Other Howell activities include fishing, birding, trapping, and hunting. Because Howell accessibility can quickly change following upstream flooding or heavy rains, check the Missouri conservation website before visiting to ensure you can visit. No restrooms or other services here.
