How to Ride, Climb, and Tee Off at Missouri Bluffs Park

Tucked into the rolling river bluffs just off I-64, Missouri Bluffs Park delivers a choose-your-own-adventure kind of experience.

One minute you’re pumping through berms on purpose-built downhill trails, the next you’re testing your balance on a low ropes course or teeing off beneath century-old oaks.

It’s a compact but surprisingly diverse playground where St. Charles County quietly shows off its ups and downs.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Get Acquainted
Missouri Bluffs Park, located off Highway 40 (I-64) at 18 Research Park Circle, spans 286 forested acres along the Missouri River.

Eighty-six acres are being developed with trails and amenities, while the remaining 200 acres continue to be leased to the Missouri Bluffs Golf Club.

Mountain Bike Trails
St. Charles County Parks has added a mountain bike-only downhill trail system with two blue (intermediate) runs featuring dirt jumps, rollers, and berms.

Riders will also find three miles of multi-use cross-country singletrack and a connection to the Katy Trail with parking.

Additional expansion is underway by St. Louis-based Stray Trails.

Low Ropes Course
The park’s low ropes course features 10 obstacles designed to build confidence, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

Participants must complete a waiver and obtain Special Use Authorization from the Parks Department before climbing.

Public Golf Course
The Missouri Bluffs Golf Club offers an 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed course set among rolling hills and century-old trees.

A renovated clubhouse includes a pro shop, plus a restaurant and bar serving apps, salads, sandwiches, and steaks.

Group Camping
The group camping area accommodates up to 100 people with access to a picnic shelter and restrooms.

The rental fee is $75 per night with a two-night minimum.
