Your trail map needs to be updated as to the southern section of the trail. The section we took yesterday of the RDPGreenway starts (or ends, however you want to look at it) at Military and Kayser. Most people start though at Lemay Park due to the nice parking. For people who are walking or running, they have those little exercise stations at Lemay Park - you know the slanted sit up bench, a chin up bar, leg lifts, etc to get you all warmed up. You do have to cross over the Alabama overpass to get to the Germania side of the RDP. This section is not the most scenic by far( you go by a Monsanto plant for one) but it is an easy flat walk with very little traffic and got to see lots of ducks, geese, egrets and killdeer enjoying the RDP. The trees and plantings will eventually fill in and brighten the section up I hope.

The River smells and you are right next to the traffic. There are intersection were the cars ignore you and make left turn right at you! Some of the intersection do not have the ramp interchange. You go off a 5 inch curb to the road. The trail crosse the road to continue on the other side of the river but is not well documented when going south.

A nice, quiet, 4 to 5 mile pedal along the River Des Peres. A pleasant trail with a fair amount of shade. Provides nice connections to the Grants Trail, Christy Greenway and Bike St. Louis routes.
