I am planning a point to point, beginning to end ride of the entire Katy Trail. I would like to start in Clinton and work my way east. I plan to take a train to Sadelia and then get to Clinton somehow. Any suggestions?

When I did it, I just ate lunch in Sedalia and rode back to Clinton on the bike.

I'm planning on biking the KT in May and starting off in Clinton. I can't seem to find info on leaving my car at the trailhead for 5 days. Does anyone know if this is ok?

From a post a few days ago:
There is parking at the Clinton community center approx. 2 blocks from trail head. You fill out a form inside, the lot is lit and police patrol it some. They will call you if there is any problem or if you pick up your car early without telling them.
I have left my car at the Clinton community center many times for periods up to 2 weeks. I generally do out and back rides because it's much easier than arranging transportation and I have the time.
The train doesn't go to Clinton, the nearest it gets is Sedalia (35 trail miles away) I have also left a car at Sedalia trail head for 10 days, I went in to Depot and left information with them. I have left a car in Booneville for 10 days also, I called police and gave them info. I have also used a bicycle shop in Defiance leaving car there and getting shuttled to Clinton. Hartsburg is another good place to leave a car.
Hope this helps and have fun on your trip. Don't forget to stop and smell the roses.

You can go the Clinton community center 2 blocks south of trailhead and leave car on west end of lot. Go in tell them, fill out their information form and they will keep an eye on car and contact if a problem arises. I have done this many times with periods up to 2 weeks. I have also left cars at the trailhead here but prefer the community center.

Sorry anonymous didn't see your post. One of the disadvantages of going from email notice only.

June 26, 2010 – We made it to Clinton-the end of the line on our journey to ride the entire Katy Trail from St. Charles to Clinton! We joined the 10th anniversary Katy Trail ride, but weren’t part of the actual organized ride. Desty at the Clinton Parks and Recreation center was so kind to let us take showers and rest inside while we waited for our ride back home. We really appreciated your hospitality Desty!

I plan on riding the Katy Trail next fall. Where is the best place to leave my car? I plan on making a round trip.

The TH is Clinton is a well exposed public site and I was quite comfortable leaving a vehicle there.

Nice - I agree. I will be starting a ride from Clinton today. Day is amazingly beautiful -

You can also park at the Clinton Community Center about 2-blocks away from the trailhead, which is open very early and late. That lot is lit and patrolled locally. You'll need to park on the north side of the lot, and leave your info at/on the desk..i.e., your name, vehicle type, tag#, home address/phone, how long you estimate being gone or leaving it there etc. To make sure, give them a call first. Happy trails.

Just completed a 3-day trip from Clinton to Hermann. I parked at the Community Center a block or so from the trail head. Clean, safe, friendly staff. They even let me use the spacious and modern changing rooms to get into my bike gear. They wished me well and said they'd look after my vehicle. It made for a great start to the trip. The TH looked safe too but on balance I think the community center is the way to go.

Ditto here. Community center is the only way to go..... Very safe..
