On River des Peres Blvd. between Morganford and Gravois there are 2 parking lots next to ball fields. They are pretty close to each other. The one at Fultz field is a little smaller. There are additional, convenient parking spots along the trail for bikers and hikers.

While the river is high with water from the Mississippi, I understand that many are enjoying it as a place to fish and to get the boat on the water. I am excited, though, about the trail that is under construction along Deer Creek (a tributary to the River des Peres) in Maplewood and Webster Groves. There is a somewhat picturesque area in Deer Creek Park (called Rocket Park by many of the local children). It is a little beaten and battered by the recent construction, but when the trail is in and the volunteers get the plants in, I hope this spot will be a not-so-hidden little gem in the watershed.
