Biking and Hiking Fun For Everyone Whether you’re looking to take a stroll along a tree lined path at White Oak Trace or perhaps a 5 mile bicycle ride through the heart of the city on the LaCroix Trail, you’ll find that hiking and biking opportunities abound in Cape Girardeau. Perhaps a walk along the banks of Old Man River on Riverfront Trail sounds appealing. Or you can enjoy a challenging hike up and down the ridges of the Peewah Trail at Trail of Tears State Park just north of the city. The fact is that whether by foot or by pedal, you’re sure to enjoy the many outdoor recreational opportunities that can be found throughout the greater Cape Girardeau region.
www.velogirardeau.com has a link on their website to dozens of bike route maps that the local biking clubs generally ride.
www.mapmyride.com is a nationwide site, but you can type a search for Cape Girardeau and 109 different maps come up. It also looks as if several runners have added running route maps to this site also, so might be useful to hikers.
