Summary of Parks: There are a ton of places to hike around St. Louis including easy driving distance from Arnold. Almost all of these places allow dogs as long as they are on a leash. Off leash dog parks are a little harder to come by but can be found. The leash laws protect your dog from loose dogs that are poorly trained as well as people who do not enjoy dogs. Deer hunting is big $$$$ in MO and most conservation properties allow it during certain periods. If you're paranoid like I am, you will find out those dates and stick to the state and city parks during those periods

The only parks I can think of that wouldn't allow leashed dogs are Powder Valley and Rockwoods. Both of those are setup specifically with nature study in mind rather than places to jog or walk dogs (in fact, jogging is against the rules at Powder Valley although no one will likely bother you as long as you don't jog through a school group or other educational program)

Wow, it seems they would keep the hunting to the woodsy country areas and not to where people seem to be in town.

I was reading the other day about storm water. Is that recycled water that is saved from the river floods that is reused?
The reason I'm asking is because of the shortage and expense of water here in NM, people have rainbarrels where they collect the rain and snow water and use it mostly for plants and gardens (hardly anybody here has a grassy yard) but some use it for inside water also. I was wondering if this was the same thing.
Is recycling important to people in St. Louis and surrounding areas?

There are some who take the water from their gutters and save it in big barrels. They use it to water veggies, I believe. It's not real popular because it's seen as sort of left wingish, or new agey around here. I've also seen a couple of rain gardens where the water is diverted into low areas that have water loving plants. This prevents the water from carrying chemicals off into storm drains where we end up drinking them.

That's funny in a strange way - the thing about being left wingish or new agey just because something is being done to take care of the earth.
I really don't consider myself either one of these; it's just that since living in NM, I've come to appreciate water a lot more and how to conserve and not waste. I'm just an American gal that cares. If I have a choice of recycling and reusing, I would be doing it alot more.
