Ward Branch Greenway
Ward Branch Greenway is currently in two sections that are planned to eventually connect. One segment connects Burrell Center Lake to Twin Oaks Park/substation on Republic Road and on to The Library Center. The other section has two miles that connects Wanda Gray Elementary School to River Bluff Cave Archeology Museum (across the road from Rivercut Golf Course). This section is also very wooded and scenic as it meanders back and forth along Ward Branch Creek.
POINTS OF INTEREST: The trail connection underneath James River Freeway/Hwy 60; River Bluff Cave and the adjoining Missouri Institute of Natural Science’s “Riverbluff Cave Museum”; The Library Center; Wanda Gray Elementary School; a connection to “The Link”, which is a signed 8-mile bike/walk route connecting Doling Park to Twin Oaks Park; The trail ties into a mile of new bike lanes on Republic Road, between Campbell and Fremont avenues.
