  Great place to bring your kids and spend an afternoon. Lovely space, beautiful landscape and tons of areas to hike. Beautiful area to spend your day.

  It's a great place to walk your dog along the river. If you like to hike there is plenty of that to do too! It's a beautiful park. Please keep it that way by picking up after yourself. :) The cliffs at the top of the hike are worth the walk!

  A great park to walk the trails and see great views of the river and bluffs. The park is usually busy. Lots of dogs on the trails. We love coming to CastleWood.

  We just visited again the lovely trails and bluff views at this excellent park. A lovely place to picnic, kayak and take your family. After a steep walk , bikers pushed their mountain bikes up, you achieve a beautiful view of the valley and Meramec River. Right at the parking areas by the river entry there is a lovely sand beach, not suggested to ever swim here because of the current; we walked it for sometime and watched families enjoying the warm Indian Summer day with their children and dogs. We missed the peak time for the turning of the leaves but was happy regardless. We will go back to find more trails and kite fly.

  This is a Great state park that is im the Metro St. Louis area. The trails are fantastic, the water features are wonderful and the views are awesome! We will be going back in the fall for when the leaves change colors.

  I live fairly close to Castlewood and I do come here often, sometimes for an afternoon walk and sometimes for the many trails. The higher elevation trails have great views. There are short ~1.5 miles to longer ~6-7 mile trails. Overall a great place to go

  We enjoy coming here because it's close to home. Only negative for visitors is they do not offer camping. That would be a huge draw for people.

  long strips of park sites with picnic areas, volleyball courts, etc. Loved dipping our toes in the Meramac River. Good hiking trail along the riverfront. Peaceful. Some trash along the ground, but fairly clean. Enjoyed our afternoon there.

  I live less than 2 miles away from Castlewood. I regularly go there after work and on the weekends to mountain bike, hike and trail run. There are tons of views to be had within the park. It can be very busy on the weekends making it difficult to find a parking spot so keep that in mind.
