I provided a link in the other thread that has a link to the area. It doesn't have JerrySTL's desription on it perfectly, but if you look at the map, scroll in and look at the details, you will be able to trace the route he describes easily. The trail on the Missouri side is on the map, you'll need to scroll in some to view it.

MCT Trails Map

It's a wonderful map that has the 100+ miles of trails that are easily reached from St. Louis. These are wonderful trails that extend out into the countryside. Probably one of the top trail systems in the country in my book. I can't figure out where they got all the money to build it.

Another idea I just thought of looking at this map is to roll your bike on Metrolink in STL and get off at Shiloh. Then ride to Carlyle Lake. Nice weekend trip probably in the 40-50 mile range, haven't checked it exactly but that's close. It's probably less to the campground.

Here some guy went out and bought a 200.00 bicycle. Never even crossed his mind to even know what the frame is made out of or count the spokes. He was smart enough to put his beer in a cooler. The good ol' days...don't drink anymore. Bike did the Katy trail 3 times until it was upgraded. Notice the wonderful camo paint job...if your going to stealth camp might as well be stealth.
