It was a clear, warm and colorful autumn day today so my husband and I decided to take our 16 year old for cycling. This ended up being our answer to exercise, fresh air, fun and nature! The trails are highly maintained by the state park system. Not being much of a cyclist, myself, I appreciated the fact that there are scenic "novice" trails. There are also expert trails for the expert cyclist. We enjoyed sitting and relaxing by the river after we finished our trail.
This is a wonderful park for families to visit, whether you'll want to spend the day backpacking or cycling, playing frisbee or just chilling at one of the picnic sights.
After leaving Castlewood State Park, we grabbed a quick bite to eat at the Sonic Drive In at Gravois Bluffs in Fenton. Fas, friendly service and good greasy food!
