About the walk PARKVILLE 8 KM First, English Landing Park, with its linear trail along the Missouri River, is closed due to extensive flooding. The trail is scheduled to reopen in late spring, 2012. This trail will be included in the Parkville walk once it has opened for public use. The newly revised Parkville walk, an 8 KM route, contains some substantial hills. Walkers, as they climb the hill, will see some unique housing. These houses were designed to fit into their wooded settings. There are lots of beautiful trees, and even though there are a number of houses, one has the sense of being in the woods. After leaving the Bluff Area, walkers will pass a small city park and then enter the Parkville Nature Sanctuary. Walkers may see deer, turkeys, or other types of birds and wildlife. The big attraction in this area is the waterfalls, the largest, and perhaps the only, waterfalls in Platte County. After leaving the Parkville Nature Sanctuary, walkers will have some great views of the historic Park University. The walk ends with a trip down Main Street in Old Town, Parkville, a quaint little river town.
