Machens, Missouri on the Katy Trail
Mile 26.9
The Missouri DNR is working on extending the Katy Trail beyond
St Charles, to Machens.
This wil add another 13 miles to the eastern end of the Katy Trail.
On October 30, 2006, the St Louis Post Dispatch published a story stating that
all
involved parties are nearing an agreement on finishing the trail to Machens.
And on February 8, 2007 they published another story with the state's announcement of
plans for starting work should on the extension.
We'll keep the website updated with any new developments.
DNR statement:

The incomplete section from St. Charles to Machens is very important to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Currently, construction is progressing on this section of the Katy Trail. However, there have been several legal issues involving the property rights and "right of ways" along this particular portion of the trail which have caused delays in its planning and construction. Many of these issues have been resolved, but there are several which remain. For that reason, we are unable to give you a completion date at this time. Please know that as soon as the legalities can be resolved, it is the intention of the department to finish the eastern section as quickly as possible.

Planning on completing the Katy Trail (West to East)by bike next week. What is the situation from St. Charles to Machens. Is it open to bikers yet and is the trail easy enough to see from St. Charles to Machens? Please only comment on this portion of the trail. Have completed the rest of it.

We are biking the trail at the end of May starting in St. Charles. We were thinking about having our ride drop us at the Machens trailhead and then ride to St. Charles where we're staying. But how do you get to the Machens trailhead? Is there an address? Anyone know.
