What is The River Ring?
The River Ring is an interconnected system of greenways, parks and trails that will encircle the St. Louis region, enhancing the quality of life for residents and visitors. Eventually, The River Ring will comprise a 600-mile web of more than 45 greenways that will crisscross the region and provide access to trail and greenway projects developed by the Metro East Park and Recreation District in Madison and St. Clair counties, Illinois. The River Ring was the outcome of a 10-month citizen planning process completed in September 2003.
