Veterans Memorial Bridge

Lace up for a moderate jogging experience on the Creve Coeur Connector Trail, a 7.8-mile (12.5 km) route that takes about 1 hour and 16 minutes to complete. You'll enjoy a gentle elevation gain of just 21 feet (7 metres) as you move through diverse natural landscapes. The trail winds past native prairie grasses and marshlands, offering glimpses of vibrant wildflowers in spring. Keep an eye out for various bird species near the wetlands and Little Creve Coeur Lake, and take in the serene views as you pass Mallard Lake.

Parking is conveniently available within Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park, making access straightforward for your jogging session. The trail is a paved, multi-use path, so you should be aware of cyclists who might be moving quickly. While most of the route is flat, be prepared for a short, fairly steep hill right at the beginning if you start heading west from Creve Coeur Park. This makes it a good option for a consistent workout with one small challenge.

This route offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature, even though it runs close to Page Avenue. The trail's design ensures you are immersed in the park's natural beauty, providing a peaceful escape. It's an excellent choice if you are looking for a well-maintained path to enjoy the local ecosystem and get some exercise.
