Bee Tree Park

Another favorite park of ours is Bee Tree Park. Bee Tree is nestled in extreme southeast St. Louis County and is therefore not far at all from our home. It features the most amazing views of the Mississippi River in the St. Louis area. You can see the river below and to the right on the photo. Teddy is especially fond of this fountain and will spend all day there if we let him. The mansion in the background was built by a Southwestern Bell founder in 1927 and it is supposed to be haunted.
In addition to the great overlooks there are a couple of nice trails that we take as well as a big fishing pond. I have never had any luck fishing here, but I have heard of others catching large catfish out of it.
