March 3, 2021Trail in good shape - more of a road than a trail. Pretty views and access to Coldwater Creek and the Missouri River. Can hear the limestone quarry all along the hike. Additionally, the creek has been recognized for radioactivity. Not sure how safe it is or isn’t, but worth knowing before you get out here. The trail itself is fine. Looks like it is now safe - http://www.coldwatercreekfacts.com/ https://www.mvs.usace.army.mil/Missions/FUSRAP/HISS/
February 28, 2021February 28, 2021Beautiful property with historical significance. Trail was very muddy due to melted snow and rain.
February 27, 2021February 27, 2021Double Wide Trail. It is a cute little park with historical significance.
February 23, 2021very muddy most of the trail but considering the snow has just melted I'd say it was expected. beautiful points of view throughout lots of river views and access
February 23, 2021Trail was soupy and gross—after big snow melt. I’ve been wanting to hike the trail for a while, but came away pretty disappointed.
February 22, 2021February 21, 2021Snow beautiful!! First time hiking this trail and it has so much to offer. Ruins, river views and an overlook of the river. The snow was firm which made it easy to walk through. When you enter the park there is a guard you have to check in with. Trail runs along the cold water creek and the Missouri River.
February 20, 2021Fantastic sunny day in February
February 20, 2021February 6, 2021February 5, 2021Not bad trail walk. A bit muddy, but nothing stopping a hike.
January 31, 2021January 28, 2021Beautiful in the snow
January 24, 2021January 24, 2021January 18, 2021Trail is wide and easy to follow. Takes you through a prairie, along Coldwater Creek and down to the Mississippi. A few ruins and off trail areas to explore. Not the prettiest this time of year.
January 16, 2021There was a gate blocking most of the path... I would like to come back when its open?
January 16, 2021January 14, 2021Easy but a nice walk

January 13, 2021amazing
January 13, 2021January 13, 2021Fairly easy, pleasant trail with a nice creek and 1930s WPA projects.
January 5, 2021Very pretty! Lots of old fort ruins to explore. I’d rate it easy as it was mostly flat. It was muddy, so come prepared.
January 3, 2021Beautiful loop with a lot to stop and check out...will come again
