Less than a half an hour from downtown St. Louis, Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park beckons outdoor lovers with its scenic loop trail around the lake, its playgrounds, and its picnic pavilions.

It’s also the largest park in St. Louis County, and the 320-acre Creve Coeur Lake is one of Missouri’s largest natural lakes. But…there’s more.

Local legend tells a heartbreaking tale from long ago at this park in Creve Coeur, a name that means “broken heart.” A Native American chief had a daughter, who was married to a great warrior.

Her husband set off on a hunting trip, never to return. Heartbroken and certain she could go on no longer, the wife made her way to the bluffs in what today is Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park.

There, she plunged to her death, falling into the massive lake below. Some say she still roams the park to this day.

Park-goers tell of seeing a shadowy figure on those very bluffs. She’s there on nights with a full moon, but each time she jumps from the bluff and…

Disappears, never hitting the water. Still others tell of hearing a woman sobbing as they explore the park. Could it be the heartbroken woman, still awaiting the return of her love?
