The Ulysses S. Grant Trail (Grant's Trail) is an 8 mile long "rails to trails" bike trail stretching through south and southwest St. Louis County, Missouri. As a former railroad right of way, Grant's Trail is flat and perfect for biking, running, inline skating, walking, or cross-country skiing.
In addition to the recent extension into Kirkwood, there are long-term plans to extend the eastern end of the trail to the River Des Peres. No word on when. An extension into Clydesdale Park was added in 2005.
