Broken Ridge, Hickory Ridge, and Tanglevine Trail Loop is a 2.4 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near Fenton, Missouri that offers the chance to see wildlife and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round.
These wooded, paved trails wind throughout the Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center and are used for walking and running. This trail is not tagged as wheelchair or stroller friendly because although this trail is paved, it is steep to very steep with sections over a 12% grade. Some of the bridges have a couple of stairs on the ends. The most accessible portion is the Tanglevine Trail Loop, which is estimated to be mostly gentle (5% or less). That loop can be viewed on its own trail page here: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/missouri/tanglevine-loop

March 16, 2021March 12, 2021This is one of my favourite local parks, great place to go when there's not a lot of time to break away.
March 5, 2021February 28, 2021Very crowded, not a great place for solo hikers. Be careful about running, lots of wandering children and people who like to stand in the middle of the path.
February 27, 2021February 27, 2021February 27, 2021February 6, 2021February 5, 2021Very pretty paved trails close to home. Some modest hills. I love the creek and streams. Saw various birds. Junco nuthatch woodpecker. Only drawback is highway noise.
January 31, 2021Creek was high with water. Good place to hike or walk for exercise. The paved trails were a good option after all the rain. phone battery died after 12 minutes. We hiked all three loops.
January 30, 2021Hiking in heavy rain and so appreciated the pavement vs mud. There was a section of the long loop where water was overflowing the path at a depth of about 3-4 inches and moving pretty quickly.
January 29, 2021January 29, 2021Very slippery because of the ice on the trails. I just walked on the snow next to the path and it was fine. Overall nice work out.
January 26, 2021January 23, 2021good hike.
