Join park staff and experienced guides on a moonlight bike ride through some of St. Charles County’s most scenic park trails. Open to cyclists of all ages and skill levels, these relaxing bike rides through woods and prairies take place after the sun goes down beginning in June.
“Through numerous volunteer and staff efforts, the St. Charles County Parks Department has carved out 40 miles of some of the most unique paved and natural-surface trails for biking enthusiasts to enjoy,” says Bettie Yahn-Kramer.
A Moonlight Bike Ride will be offered at at the Louis H. Bangert Memorial Wildlife Area (Bangert Island) on December 10 from 5-7:30 p.m. Bangert Island’s trails loop through primarily flat terrain along single-track trails of sand and dirt. Located in St. Charles near the intersection of South River Road and Old South River Road, the park features more than four miles of natural-surface trail.
