We're planning a trip in Oct. What is the best (least traffic & safe) way to go? We did this a couple of years ago and went up to Pere Marquette State Park - did a lot of winding around to get there. Thanks for any help, Jeanne

We rode the trail Clinton to St. Charles, stayed at Lococo House, and had them shuttle us to Alton where we rode to Pere Marquette, then back down to Granite City, crossed the Chain of Rocks Bridge and rode to the Arch, all on trails. We originally intended to ride to Machens and then ride to the Grafton Ferry and take it across, but it has been closed down for sometime. Another option would be to ride on to Machens and then ride 94 to the bridge over to Alton (forgetting the hiway, but it has a bike lane). I researched quite a bit and came up with the above options. Hope this helps.

To others reading this, the Grafton ferry is running again. Dredging is all done.
