I know this been done to death, but I finally have the time this week to ride this part of the trail and want to know if this route is still viable?

I’m attempting it from Machens to the Arch.
Appreciate any guidance you could throw my way!
Rick

That paved Mississippi Riverfront Trail is open and you want to ride it during the daylight hours. The section just north of Downtown St. Louis and the Arch is very industrial and you just jog a couple of blocks away from the river due to one closed flood gate at Carr. Take Biddle Street up to 2nd Street and not 1st Street as you head towards the Arch grounds.

Thanks so much Mark.
I believe it’s your map on that link that I’m following? I’ll check it out the week!
