Wildwood National Park Trails

Ridgeway Loop -8.2 Kilometers:  Enjoy views of the Meramec River from the top of Villa Ridge. This moderate trail involves a steady incline to the top of the ridge, followed by a clear trail that loops back and descends to the south parking lot.

 Eureka Slope -5.7 Kilometers: Trek up the side of Eureka Ridge. This difficult trail features rocky terrain and intermittent steep inclines with views of Pacific Palisades Valley. The trailhead can be found 100 meters north of the ranger station.

River's Edge -6.4 Kilometers: This trail stretches along the bank of the Meramec River. The flat trail begins at the south parking lot and ends at Pacific Palisades Park. 

Hallow Falls Trail -2.5 Kilometers: Beginning behind the main pavilion, this easy trail stretches through the Wildwood Forest and ends at Hallow Falls. Picnic and barbeque areas can be found along the way.

Hi, everyone 

This month's nature walk will take place this Saturday at 6:00 A.M. During last month's trip to Rockwood Canyon, a number of people expressively mentioned interest in seeing the Meramec River, so we'll be meeting at Wildwood National Park this time. Please arrive in the south parking lot by 5:45 A.M. I  have attached a park map for your reference. Be sure to pack a lunch and plenty of water. We will be hiking for 5-6 hours. 

See you on Saturday!
