Hike To A Beautiful Waterfall On The Glassberg Family Conservation Area Trail In Missouri

How lucky are we to live in a state that's just chock full of breathtaking natural scenery? We have plenty of ways to explore Missouri, too, from taking a leisurely drive on a Sunday afternoon to going for a picturesque bike ride. We also have a ton of pretty Missouri trails to choose from, too, including this relatively short hike that leads to a quaint waterfall.

Nestled among the 429-acre Glassberg Family Conservation Area, in Eureka, is a picture-perfect trail that leads to a quaint waterfall and a sensational overlook.

The 2.6-mile Glassberg Family Conservation Area Trail is a loop trail that hikers rate as somewhere between an easy and a moderate hike.

Carve out at least two hours for your hike along the trail and, if you're up for it, bring a picnic lunch along, too.

Prepare to climb some hills along your journey, but the views are well worth the effort you'll put in.

Admire the wildlife, including butterflies, and picturesque ponds dotted along the trail.

You'll come across a small but beautiful waterfall, particularly pretty after a rainfall, just one of the highlights of the trail that also features...

An overlook with jaw-dropping views of the Meramec River and the surrounding lush landscape.

Don't forget to wear insect repellent, especially during the warmer months. If you're hiking after a rainfall, expect the trail to be muddy and slippery in some spots, too.
