Get active in Meramec State Park (five minutes’ walk) on hiking and biking trails from gentle to challenging, and go fishing for spring trout in the river. Float or swim off the pebbly river beach at Cane Bottom (20 minutes’ drive), and there are boat ramps for launching tubes and kayaks along the river’s course. If you’d like to combine some sporty activity with some wine sampling, the Katy Trail (40 minutes) roughly follows the Missouri River and passes through grape country, where numerous wineries are open for tastings. Missouri is known as the ‘cave state’ for good reason. Go underground on a guided tour of Meramec Caverns (20 minutes) to see spectacular limestone formations, and once back above ground, try out the high-speed zipwire and treetop rope courses. A little over an hour’s drive takes you to downtown St Louis and its famous landmark Gateway Arch – ride up to the top for views over the city and Mississippi River. Indulge the kids with a day on the thrill rides and whitewater rapids at Six Flags St Louis, and in spring and summer, cheer on the St Louis Cardinals in Busch Stadium.
