I would love to go because I'm not far from there but I don't wanna deal with no dog

thanks for the hard work.

You forgot to mention the gang of blacks that threw two white girls to their death off that bridge.

I echo EGlidekid , back in the late 70s and early 80s we had a motocross track setup on the island , rode it Many times , I lived in south st. louis and trailered bikes up there to ride , Have ridden the greenway trail many times from arch area and even further south of there on my road bicycle , Have ridden the trails / slash roads on the island on my mountain bike many times also , and most recently before i retired from from a natural gas utility in St .Louis , for several years worked on the island on propane piplelines that run through Chouteau from Hartford illinois down to South St..louis by River city casino . Chouteau island is a very unique area , And by the way the video was AWESOME !!!!!

I crossed that bridge when I was eight yrs old...I remember an amusement park being on the left side as you entered Missouri. Im surprised there was no record/mention of in the parking area.

It hasn’t been mentioned in the video that I can tell, but this is the bridge that they filmed escape from New York with Kurt Russell

I'm happy to see this video, because I live in Madison County and I would never go here alone. The reason there's trash everywhere isn't the water, it's the people. The same people who vandalize the trail maps, spray graffiti all over everything, and make me afraid to go there alone.

I remember driving across that steel deck bridge to go out to his house

My buddy Leonard used to live out on Chouteau Island back in the 80s and I would go out to visit him. It was very awesome

Great vid! Thanks for posting it

I call this my “initiation” trail I give to my friends that are new to hiking

Thank you! Brings back great memories!

Just like rhe city. Well planned and beautiful.

Wow...

You missed the Turtle Park, but it is a bit out of the way it is on the extreme south border of the park on the other side of I-64 it runs between the interstate and Oakland Avenue. It Has numerous giant concrete turtles for children of all ages to climb on. It was created by Bob Cassilly, the artist behind the city Museum near downtown Sy. Louis.

The Missouri side parking lot was closed for renovation to make it safer from cars being vandalized. I believe it is now open.

Good video - very informative to share with out of state friends.

I have stopped at the Bridge many times on cross country trips.... it is probably my best rest stop. You might not have seen anyone parked on te Missouri side because of the warnings how dangerous it is there---- car break ins are very common on that side.

Thanks for the Video! Very informative!

Wow - thank you for making this!

This whole area is super beautiful, however, Castlewood and Sherman have an ESPECIALLY dark past ! Fun fact :)

Must have been a lot of walk and work showing us this beautiful scenery. Such a neat and greenery campus, I enjoyed every bit of it. Maybe next time, it'll be helpful to name each location. Thank you.

Nobody runs a full run on this 7.1 theres maybe 2.5 miles thats easily runnable the rest has heavy tree roots and is more of a hike

my dream university. someone to direct me here please

you did it in 1: 17 what a beast !

Great video! I'm checking out places to run this week, definately going to give this spot a try

It's a nice area to get away from everything, breathe, relax, walk, and watch the boats.🙏♥️

My comment was here last night. Where did it go? Was it removed?

I have been there

Cool video. Thank you.

I don’t understand why the music changes volume

Why are we encouraging this?

Very high crime area. Be alert. Don't go in small groups.

Good pictures. Rode on this 1929 bridge as a kid (it was Bypass 66/temporary I-270 then) and on a bicycle many years later, after it closed when the new bridge opened in 1968. The toll booth was on the Missouri side. It's only 20 feet wide; imagine being in a car with a large truck coming on the curve. The canal bridge isn't in very good shape, so it was reduced to one lane.

where you on bike??

That's a Neat Run!

Trails? Did you say “trails?” My family spent 2 hours in that mess under the bridge. Un-maintained is being polite. My hiking project app record is a mess on that particular trek. Great job on the video.

Brickle!!!!

Appreciate your good work. Helped me plan my trip there in July.

I grew up about a mile away from this trail off orange blvd. I remember when there was just 2x12's as the "boardwalks" LOL! I have seen snakes, gators, hawks, bears, and pigs. There were no markers and I dont remember it going in a circle. I thought it just went to the st johns and then you would turn around and come back. It was rare to see anyone or any cars in the parking area! Awesome video!! I will have to go back now!

Is this a safe area?

Neat place for a run 👍😃

Such a pretty city. Hope things improve.! Lol

Curious, I did not see anyone walking their dogs anywhere at all in the video. Are they not allowed in this area?

I think I was in brickell key the same exact day cause I saw them set up the wedding/event too

Nice video

i'm curious how you minimize camera shake. also would like to see south beach the same way.

The GPS map is not public. Requires log-in. Are you holding a gimbal or is it attached to you somehow?

We rode our dirt bikes all over Chouteau Island back in the late 60s and early 70s when I was a kid. Some of my fondest memories as a kid were made here. Thanks for make this vid!

👍👍👍👍👍excellent💯
