Trails Near Saint Louis?

[MikeB]

I am moving away from the greatest trails the west has to offer and I am making my way back to the midwest. I have seen a few folks from the Saint Louis area around but I havent been able to pin them down for trail information.

Are there anyother trails in Missour other than the State and National parks. Here in idaho you have lots of trails. Most are less than a half hour away! Im just looking for some good riding close.

Have any of you ever been around those parts. I know there are the finder lakes, Mark Twain National forest and St. Joe state park. Am i missing anything?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
