Greensfelder Park

St. Louis, Missouri

The suburbs of western St. Louis are home to rustically beautiful Greensfelder Park, a county park conveniently located 20 miles from the heart of downtown St. Louis and only a few minutes from Six Flags, a world class amusement park. With over 20 miles of challenging horse accessible trails, equestrian camping facilities, Greensfelder is justifiably a regional hotspot for trail riders.

The terrain at Greensfelder is typical of the Missouri Ozark foothills with rolling hills, spectacular views, and trails of all types for riders to explore. Indeed, it wouldn’t be inappropriate to think of Greensfelder’s hills as a natural roller coaster but without the admission charge and $10 sandwiches of the better known amusement park directly to the south.

Trailhead facilities and amenities include potable water, a shower house, stalls for horses, some camp sites also offer electrical connections. As might be expected, reservations for camping are highly recommended.

Ten main trails loop and wind over more than twenty miles through the deep woods, ridges, and valleys of Greensfelder. Many of the trails are rocky so some type of hoof protection is advised. Because of the rolling terrain some trails, mainly in the low laying areas can be slow to dry after a rain. Practice good Leave No Trace guidelines and prevent undo trail issues by using your best judgment when deciding where to ride after a recent rain.

Although every trail here has its own unique qualities, three of the most popular trails at Greensfelder are:

Mustang Trail – A shorter loop trail that makes up for its relatively short 1.7 mile length with strenuous hills.

Eagle Valley – If you’re in the mood to try eventing this 3.5 mile loop trail is the ticket for jumps. If you prefer hoofs on the ground to airborne antics, there’s plenty of room to bypass the obstacles.

DeClue - Parts of this 6.7 mile trail will provide a workout for you and your horse with steep climbs, switchbacks, and rocks to test your skills. This trail also runs very close to Six Flags’ “Screaming Eagle” roller coaster so don’t be alarmed if you hear the screams of the park goers.

As was mentioned earlier Greensfelder is a suburban park so expect hikers, and mountain bikers, on your ride, and if you plan on camping it’s prudent to make a reservation beforehand. With those caveats in mind this is a wonderful park to visit and ride especially if you’re going with someone who’s into non-horse thrill rides!
