Some have said that Castlewood State Park is the best State Park in the St Louis area (maybe even the state). It certainly is a good one!

The views overlooking the Meramec River from the trail are truly fantastic!

Castlewood State Park - Sunrise - Park Travel Review
Heading our early for Castlewood State Park in St Louis was a great way to start the day. We just needed to decompress. Getting outside on a trail is our best way to do that.
At Castlewood State Park, we chose the River Scene Trail. On this trail we found vast views from the bluffs of the Meramec River, ruins of an old staircase as a couple the concrete structures that we can't identify. We just needed this 3.5 miles outside today.
