Mountain Biking Route 66 State Park
#93 of 169 mountain bike trails in Missouri
Trail is flat.
Mixture of Road 75% and packed gravel. There is one section of single
track dirt after you pass underneath I44. Trail head for this section is near
equestrian parking area.
You can stay on the inside route and it is all paved. If you take outer route
along river you will run into the hard pack gravel.
There are a couple of connector trails inside the outside loop.
Perfect trail to introduce the kids to variety of surfaces.

Take I-44 to Lewis Road exit (266). Go past visitor center on one-lane bridge.
Park on right. You can also access Route 66 Park, if heading east on I44 by
taking exit 265, to Kircher Park, a small park on your right. Follow trail under
I44 for .25 mile and you will run into Route 66 State Park.
Super easy ride. All flat and about 60% paved road and 35% crushed gravel and 5% single-track. We went on a rainy day so we could still get a ride in. Single track did loop through a swampy part of the park and we jumped up about 8 deer. Easy ride. Good place to ride when everything else is too wet.
| ThankNo singletrack here. But if you just want to stretch your legs on easy terrain, or rain is keeping you off the other area trails, give it a try. Better than not riding at all. Most of the "trails" are pavement but there are some gravel sections. Very wide tread.
| Thankthis is a paved path and gravel route and the only time I ride here is when all of the singletrack in the area is too wet to ride. I am not a fan of paved rides but it is better then riding on the road trying not to get run over by an idiot in a car!
