The Lake Overholser Bridge played an important role in the establishment of America’s Mother Road: Route 66. It is managed by the National Park Service and is classified as a Historic Place in the National Register.

Lake Overholser Park is sandwiched between the end of the West River Trail and the start of the Lake Overholser Trail. The park has green space, a playground, restrooms, parking, and a few other features, but the main draw to the area is definitely the dam.

This trail, formerly River Road, is a fantastic old dirt road that winds through the woodlands. It's perfect for a great run, although it can get muddy, especially after rain. The path is maintained for the first couple of miles but can be slightly overgrown towards the end. Additionally, the trail gets close to the water a couple of times, so keep an eye out, especially if you are moving fast. It's a great place to escape from the city, surrounded by nature and the delightful aroma of honeysuckle along the entire way.

This sort of "island walk" is a really cool grassy section of trail. There is water directly on both sides of the path, so it's impossible to not know where you're going when you're on this trail. It's cool to be able to kind of walk out into the water.

This eastern part of the Lake Overholser Trail continues all the way from the Lake Overholser Bridge to Lake Overholser Park at the dam. This path is completely paved and follows along the eastern banks of the waters. You can hop on the western trail at the dam, and this trail walks a grass path with water on both sides.
