We can discover so many magical secrets when we go hiking just about anywhere in Missouri. While Missouri isn’t home to a designated fairy trail, it does lay claim to a few trails that are dotted with magical little secrets, like gnomes and fairies. The Bluff Creek Trail in Missouri, for example, has surprises hidden along the way, and you’re sure to find them as long as you keep an eye out.
Bluff Creek Trail, which winds through Emmenegger Nature Park in Kirkwood, gives off a fairy tale-like vibe with its winding paths, colorful wildflowers, and even a few fairies along the way.
