River Bluff Trails Park

Trying to find one image that fully captures the essence of this park is no simple task (scroll down for proof). Hiding amongst the tree-lined bluffs are miles and miles of multi-use trails open to any adventure seeker. The only way to truly understand this beautiful system is to come see it yourself!

The two WPA structures inside the park are remnants from the Prospect Hill Park project, which started around the 1930’s. In 1942, Camp Petree was established as a base for the 35th Tank Company of the Missouri State Guard. Deconstructed in the mid 1940’s the only thing left were two roofless structures.
