My cat and I go hiking here a lot. It's very quiet with a good mix of terrain. Definitely one of my favorite trails in CoMo

Capen Park is more than just an outdoor area: it has walkable and bikeable paths as well as stunning scenic lookout points. You might see lovely engagement or family photos taking place at this spot because of the gorgeous views. The unique part about this trail is that you don't have to travel far away and is found within Columbia city limits. There are countless college students that will walk to this trail to get away from school stressors! Capen Park is a "Must Visit" trail to experience next time you are in Columbia!
