Resident Biker from Boonville on 08/04/2008 03:33 PM
Yes, they will haul you AND your bike, for free. The I-70 hotels were very accommodating to Casino guests before the Casino had its own hotel. Now, the Isle of Capri is repaying the favor--and it's good PR, too.



The Isle of Capri is very Katy-friendly. They offer a free bike locker for those who want to explore--even if you're not staying at the hotel.



No, I don't work for them! Just trying to get this good information out there so people can use it.

I find Coopers to be a mixed bag. It's an amazing gathering place for some great eclectic people. There's never a shortage of folks to talk to around the camp fire, and the food at the Tai kitchen CAN NOT BE BEAT..seriously. I did find however that they were strange folks the time my wife and I went there and wanted to sit on a log near the fire and were told our little 5 pound lap dog that she never lets out of her lap-would have to go. We were told it was an eating area ? (No tables before us, no one eating and it made zero sense) A little nervous guy jumps out from nowhere makes a declaration and then slips back into his little hole not to be seen again. Well, that ruined the night right there, we left, and have since come back once without the dog. You can have beer, but not hard liquor... Interesting... All in all though ? If you're dog-less, it's worth the trip. Don't miss the awesome display of local musicians they rotate through there on friday and sat nights. Naked Dave ? You rock ! (a new fan) Me.

On our trek across Missouri last summer, we stopped at Coopers Landing to resupply with gatorade and water. The gentlman running the shop was friendly. We were very dissapointed with the portapotty as it was overflowing and needed to be emptied. We promptly renamed the spot "Poopers Landing". Other than that, it looks like a nice place to re-supply and eat a meal. We were not impressed with the camp-site as there are many other good places to camp along the way.

MAH from Blue Springs, MO on 07/29/2008 12:36 PM
As a woman rider who has stopped there multiple times (many times alone), I have never had any reason to feel scared or not want to stop. I will say however, it took me a couple of rides before I actually stopped and went in because it doesn't look like your typical convenience store in a populated area. It was my loss. It's the only spot between Mcbaine and Hartsburg to get a cold drink or snack. If you're there at meal time...the Thai food is wonderful(not to take away from Mr. Cooper's bar-b-que which is equally good).

It's a good spot to stop, have a cold drink, good meal and sit and watch the river.

It is what it is.

Just my 2 cents worth.

You might remember the Missouri flooded about this time last year. I was hiking through that area when they were cleaning up after having 4 inches of water in the building. They guy said they usually didn't run the grill during the week but he stopped what he was doing and fired up the grill to feed me. Two thumbs up from me.

its a total Stienbeckian experience. a few drunks, bizzarre civil war cuttouts around a campfire and some really great Tai food,

an interesting shower experience(is that a closet or a bathroom?).

I doubt that anyone is in any danger there, just a bunch of goodold boy hippys but with a money making agenda, so I doubt that they would put up with any 5h1t that would give them a bad name. the owner was patient and kept open a few extra minutes to keep the showers open for me last time I was there. I cant wait to eat there again. really great tai food, and out of a trailer! it actually gets no better.

Those cutouts would more likely be related to Lewis and Clark than the Civil War. We ate at the Thai Kitchen last Friday night....a great time as usual. A big shout out to Lawrence who is in the middle of a Maine to California ride. We were honored to buy his supper and a beer or two.

There were 3 of us riding the Katy trail a couple of years ago during mid-June (very hot, 90+ deg), camping along the way. We arrived in Pilot Grove early afternoon in time to enjoy the City Pool for a couple of hours. The pool felt great after riding in the heat. It started raining, so we ate supper at the deli close to the trail. It was very enjoyable talking to the girl who was running the deli, she let us stay there until it stopped raining. Went back to the park where the Town Mayor had personnally opened and restocked the park restroom. We felt like celebrities. Couldn't pay them for camping there, so we walked around the park and picked up trash. There are some of us planning to ride the trail again in mid-August (not the best time of year) but one of the our stops will be Pilot Grove.

... bike the 15 miles between Treloar and McKittrick. There aren't any services between. I rode that section again today and saw only one rider. If you start at Treloar, Hermann is only 2 miles past McKittrick (across Missouri River) and make a good half-way point. This makes for an uncrowded 34 mile ride.

After the hostess invited us to wait 30 minutes extra for a window view - at her suggestion - they seated us way in the back by the kitchen. Apparently a local State Senator and his friends had popped in (we had reservations) and they seated him at the table for which we were waiting. They did not offer an explanation and did not say anything until I asked. Had they come over and spoken to us we would have been much more understanding. A well named establishment.

HORRIBLE! I will never go back. The service here is a joke! After a disaterous meal, (and a final bill of just under $250) the owner said he was "too busy" to come to our table to discuss our experience. At one point a member of our party had to get up and get the water and tea pitchers to refill glasses. One person never got part of their meal, one person's meal was dropped on the floor, and replaced with another meal because it was supposedly the last special. He recieved his meal after everyone else was almost done, the owner sent word with the waitress that since it only took "2 minutes" to receieve his replacement meal, there was not going to be any sort of comp. That was the longest two minutes EVER!! They obviously have a problem from the top down. The food wasn't bad.

Today, we rode from the Page Bridge to St. Charles. We continued to the end of the trail

just past 370, then took an off-shoot off of the path to get on the road below. It's here we

stumbled onto a sign for the MRT. It led over the 370 bridge. We backtracked and couldn't

figure out where it went from there. This seems to be a nationwide trail that never got

finished. Anybody have more info? Where is goes in St. Louis? Their website starts in

downtown and heads south!

 
gc from Columbia, Mo. on 07/29/2008 01:52 PM
When, and I hope it is soon, they open the extension to Machens you will only be a few miles from the Mississippi. In fact, if you are in Machens, you are probably closer to the Mississippi than you are the Missouri. I am not familiar with the MRT, but I would think it would be nearby.

Probably 80 percent of the trail is done and they even have the trailheads completed at Black Walnust and Machens. It's a little dicey on the section closest to St. Charles, but it can be navigated if you don't mind some weeds and rough ground.



Is it time for an update on the status of the Machens leg?

 
Paul Toigo on 07/29/2008 05:39 PM
Indeed, while their website indicates that the route is mapped South of Hannibal, the directions start from St. Louis and go South.

The Mississippi River Trail, coursing along America’s backbone, the Mississippi River, from its headwaters in Itasca, Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, offers approximately 3,000 miles of on-road and bike/pedestrian pathways for the recreational enjoyment, health, conservation, and tourism development of river communities, river states, and the nation.

L.C. was very helpful with updating us on the best places to eat, and to see. The only thing that we thought it was "questionable" in this experience was the lack of housekeeping for our room while we were there, but we figured it was probably because of the holiday. Overall, L.C. is doing a great job keeping up with the previous owners' excellent reputation as B&B hosts, even though I did miss Rick's homemade, warm, brownie topped with vanilla ice-cream at night!

You are gold. If they are not there they have a self-check with prices etc. around the back of the building. Make sure you print out directions as the campground can be a little tricky to find. BUK

There are several hotels and B&Bs right on the Trail in Boonville. The Isle of Capri Casino has a hotel, and bikers can also stay at the beautifully restored Hotel Frederick right across the street from where the Trail crosses the Missouri River.



There are also B&Bs--the High Street Victorian (1/2 a block from the Frederick), the 4 Doors Inn and Riverview Suites (both Downtown), Eloyse's and the Garden Gate (both within 1/4 mile from the Trail and easy walking distance to Downtown), and the Rivercene just over the river.



All of these hotels and B&Bs will keep your bike secure while you explore Boonville and will otherwise accommodate you. Boonville is a great place to spend the night!

can you tell me more about the Riverview Suites or the Rivercene hotels in Booneville. How far are they from the trail?

I believe Riverview Suites is no longer in business - someone please correct me if I'm wrong.



Rivercene is 1/4 mile or so off the trail. Click Boonville in the map at the top of this web page, then go down to the Rivercene listing and click it - you'll see directions to the inn.
