Otherwise, this "park" is really just a trail head and parking lot. The trail is open to bikes, horses, & pedestrians. Take the gradually descending path a half mile from the parking lot to the scenic overlook. From there, the terrain changes from a steep bluff into a gradual slope resulting in a leisurely hike through the woods. Two miles from the scenic overview, the Bluff View trail ties into the Al Foster trail. It was a great family hike and I can see this trail becoming one of our family's favorites.

We enjoyed a moderately strenuous (to strenuous by Midwest standards) hike on the Green Rock Trail…read moreat Rockwoods. Note that the trail is listed as 8.4 miles out and back on AllTrails, and does not loop back to the office. Near the beginning of the trail, you will see a sign that says "short loop". If you stay on the regular Green Rock Trail (for about 2 miles or so) you will see the other end of the "short loop", which is also marked "to office". This will bring you back to the short loop marking near the entrance, and can make for a 3-4 miles total trip. We hiked beyond this point, then backtracked and returned via the short loop for a total trip distance of 4.38 miles and 807 ft of total ascent. This is some good elevation gain for Missouri. Early Spring was a nice time to hike as it was cool and dry. It was not as pretty, though, as it was still brown from Winter. We look forward to exploring more trails at this location, and seeing what the rest of the park has to offer.

Before coming here I did research on what are the recommended trails to hike, and what is popular with most people. The Lone Wolf and the River Scene trails were the top two, I found out. So they were at the top of my priority list. When I got to the park, I stopped in the Visitors Center (or park office?) to get a map. I did the Lone Wolf trail first, since it was the longest and supposedly the most grueling of the two. It was cool with all the lookout views and some of the decaying structures (there's a story that goes with that). But the part that annoyed me was how the trails were poorly marked. The River Scene Trail was red and the Lone Wolf trail was yellow. I knew they closed off a section of the River Scene trail due to erosion. But the map I saw online (at the park's website) and the map the park ranger gave me had two differently marked routes, which sparked a lot of confusion in me. I don't know why I got my feathers ruffled on that, but yeah. I hope they fix that section soon, or by next year. But I'll still return to check out some of the other trails!
