Park/Trail:
Journey into the past with local author Laura Foster on this hill-to-bridge trek through Forest Park. Start down historic Springville Road, a former market road turned park trail, and meander through the isolated Whitwood Court neighborhood at its base. From there, investigate an intriguing staircase, learn a bit about the old St. Johns ferry and the former community (in the 1860s) of Springville, wander out onto the St. Johns Bridge for river views, and head back uphill via the beautiful Ridge and Hardesty Trails.
Note: This walk is steep, with about 800 feet of elevation gain.
Meet: Springville Road trailhead off Skyline Boulevard.
Cost:
Hikes are free for current members of the Forest Park Conservancy; $10 for non-members.
