Blue
River Parkway
Blue River Parkway has several miles of trails that run along both sides of the Blue River.
The trails begin near Red Bridge Road on the north and extend south of Martin City to 139th Street.
Additional trails continue west of Holmes Road all the way to the Polo fields at Kenneth Road, where the Blue River crosses the state line into Kansas--but these are better suited for equestrians.
These trails are multi-use trails, used by pedestrians and equestrians in addition to cyclists.
"This is an astonishingly beautiful place to ride, right within the boundaries of KCMO. This needs to be officially declared a scenic byway. The off-road Blue River Parkway Trails are nearby."
