Al Foster cliffs & climbing trails

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The section of the Al Foster Trail between the Jefferson City Bridge and the turn for Rock Hollow Greenway has a lot of spur trails offering viewpoint and rock climbing access. The rock climbing sections are obvious, and the cliffs are real, so use caution if you decide to walk up to one of the lookouts with kids or pets.

Stinging Nettle Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Stinging Nettle Trail (named after a plant that feels like tiny razor blades and itch when you rub up against them) thankfully is not usually overgrown with Stinging Nettle. The singletrack path does travel through thick forest areas with spotty sandy and muddy sections regularly apparent on the trail. There are some great views of the Meramec River from the trail, and you can connect to a number of other trails from this path.
