The bike lanes here are wonderful. The connectors could be improved though!

This 6-acre section in the corner of Forest Park was once infested with dense overgrowth of honeysuckle. It has since been reclaimed, and now has a web of pleasant paths for walking or running.

Jefferson Lake is situated in the very east of the huge Forest Park in St. Louis. There are multiple picnic areas around the lake to enjoy a great natural setting in the city.
