This Exhilarating Hike Takes You To The Most Crystal Blue Lake In Missouri

Virtual hands up if you agree that hiking just might be the perfect outdoor activity. After all, we can hike any time of the year – whether it’s a hot and humid summer day or a cold, snowy winter afternoon. We also have an abundance of trails, for hikers of all skill levels and ages, making it easy for us to find somewhere different to hike, like this loop trail in Missouri that leads to a shimmering lake.

Stretch those muscles before setting off on the 3.7-mile Lakeview Trail, a loop trail that's highlighted by sweeping views of Creve Coeur Lake.

Tucked in Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park, Lakeview Trail attracts plenty of walkers, joggers, and even bicyclists.

And, the trail is paved, making it an easy hike, no matter how much or how little hiking experience you have.

Once you arrive lakeside, you'll find plenty to do, too. Rent a canoe or a kayak for a leisurely meander around the lake. Bicycle rentals are also available.

Or, simply pull a chair up on the shoreline and watch the sun dance off of the lake. Don't forget to keep an eye out for wildlife, too, like turtles sunning themselves on a log in the water.

Didn't bring a beach chair? Relax on one of the wooden benches, which provides spectacular, sweeping views of Creve Coeur Lake.
