While very beautiful and really close to Interstate 40, most of the trails are not accessible except by foot on weekends.

The main road that goes through the Reserve is closed Friday-Sunday to vehicles.

I can’t find any information about this on their website but we were told that was the case and they had the road closed when we were there on a Friday.

I thought this rain garden idea was interesting.

The garden at Bascom House was beautiful.

I would like to go again when all the trails are accessible or we are able to hike to the other trails.

Beautiful stop right outside St. Louis.
