I'm from Jonesboro and have ridden all of the trail. I think Rocheport headed east the most scenic. You could stay in Hartsburg (24 miles) or Jefferson City (34 miles). I'm told the Globe Hotel in Harstburg is a good place to stay. There are several places in Jeff City that will pick you up at the trailhead and bring you back.
Anonymous on 02/09/2008 11:08 AM
I agree on the Rocheport south section. The Globe in Hartsburg is a nice place and I've stayed there 3 times. If a TV in the room and private bath is a must for you though, the Globe does not have that. If you go to Jeff City, I've stayed at the Cliff Manor B&B and have loved it. Thom will pick you up from the trail head and back in the AM for a small fee. Their breakfast is awesome. For dinner in the evening, I've walked up to the capital square to Ari's Greek Pizza (maybe 1 1/3 mile round trip walk?). The pizza is the best and I've actually planned rides so I overnight in Jeff City and can have Ari's pizza.
Have fun!

The Rocheport to Hartsburg section is as pretty as it gets in my opinion - especially in the spring or fall. I have stayed at the Globe in Hartsburg and found it to be quite acceptable. If you're there when she's opened - the pie at Doty's is Hartsburg (along with the rest of the food) is quite good as well.
You could go about 40 from Boonville to Hartsburg - and return the next day and get your 80.
Cliff from Edwardsville KS on 02/13/2008 08:48 AM
My wife and I have ridden from Booneville to Hartsburg several times. In my opinion the whole trail is very senic in it's own way but the area from Rocheport to Hartsburg is one of our favorites. Anothe option while staying in Hartsburg overnite is the Hartsburg Inn. It is nothing fancy but reasonably priced and has everthing you need. She does not serve breakfast but has the fridge stocked with juice and there is breakfast food in the room witha microwave. If I remember right Dotties is not open for breakfast. You can get lunch and breakfast at Dotties or Summit Hill winery has pretty good pizza. The ride from Boonville to Hartsburg is a nice day ride and it gives you time to stop along the way in Rocheport and all the other little towns along the way. Have a great ride!

frank from festus on 02/07/2008 09:21 AM
hey bubba,the only two areas i can speak of that has the trail going through the city streets is sedalia and boonvile. sedalia was a little tricky from the old depot to resuming the trail out of town, but if you just watch for the markers, you should have no problem at all. the other one is boonvile, and it is even easier. from where the trail leaves the old railroad bed to where it crosses the missouri river is all visiible from the old depot and probably not more than a 1/2 mile. you should have no problems at all.
enjoy the ride, be safe, and have fun.

I agree. Sedalia is well marked and isn't difficult, but you do have to keep your eyes open. Boonville is very easy.

Trek on 02/06/2008 09:49 AM
The Plan a Ride feature of this website is a good tool....or just click on the towns on the map above that you are interested in. In Hermann, we have enjoyed staying at Herman Hill B&B...pricey but nice.....Birks gets good reviews here also. Simons has good food, west side of downtown Hermann, and the ice cream shop is a good July stop.
In Boonville, we've stayed at The Frederick Inn several times. It's a renovation that has been done well and also houses Glen's Cafe...very good food there.....or Napoli just south of there on Main if you're needing some good pasta. Just north of I-70 and a short ride off the trail are a Comfort Inn and a Holiday Inn Express. They have pools that might be nice at the end of a hot July day.
JD from Greater KC on 02/06/2008 03:34 PM
Good plan! Averaging 75-miles/day allows one to enjoy the trail's natural, historical, and entertaining sites while not wearing oneself out. Although the trail is fairly flat, it can be tiring from stopping and starting again. Some of the small villages offer more than what can be seen from the trail. Take along high-energy food, extra water, and a small camera. It's fun!
GC from Columbia, Mo. on 02/07/2008 07:19 AM
I am going to have to start a Trek fan club. I agree with his lodging suggestions. For what it's worth, I would stay at Birk's in Hermann. I don't think it can be beat. And I would definitely stay at the Hotel Frederick and eat at Glenn's --- best food on the trail, period. At Clinton? Not too sure because that is where I kicked off my trip, but the plan-a-ride feature on this site should be helpful. Have a great time!

The trail from Clinton to Calhoun is a flat, straightforward, countryside ride. Scenes include rolling hills, farmland, farm animals, wildlife, treerows and canopies, creeks and bridges, historical sites etc. Allow three hours/av. Bring water, and use the town's public facilities this time of year.

Winter is my favorite time on the Katy. Passing through the tunnel out of town the flood line is visible on the vegetation in the bottoms and puffed-up red tail hawks are everywhere in the trees. The vegetation is nil and the head of the long line of bluffs that Rocheport is known for is visible to the right. When I am running this time of the year rarely are my eyes to the front. There is so much to see. Around mile 181 there is a hole in the ground in the midst of a patch of reeds and the reeds are coated with frost - created from something breathing in the hole? Right before Highway 40 bridge an explosion of birds and a large bird that I have never seen before passes through. About the size of a red-tail, this bird had white patches on the tops of the wings and a white band on the top of the tail. Last week, between mile 174 and 176 I saw 11 eagles. Two of them were riding ice floes down the river. Also, a first for me last week - two trumpeter swans flew right down Central Street. Nobody ever uses the Katy in the wintertime and I feel kind of guilty for getting her all to myself. Rocheport is the place to be.
Trek Biker on 01/26/2008 10:58 AM
Well tmiser....you know it won't be long and you'll be sharing her. Feel no guilt and enjoy the peace while ya can! Rocheport is a great place to be and I think that you are very fortunate to be there. In my mind though, you are most fortunate for your ability to see and appreciate what others often overlook. I'm often amused at the response to posters here seeking out the "best part of the trail" to ride. Your section of the trail from Rocheport to Boonville seems to often get unwarrented bad reviews to me. Like yourself, when we ride we take it all in and truely enjoy all that there is to experience. I've seen replys here telling others to skip the Rocheport to Boonville section because there is nothing to see or that it is boring. We have logged many miles on the Katy and have enjoyed several early morning rides from Boonville to Rocheport.

Cliff from Edwardsville Kansas on 02/05/2008 02:42 PM
I would suggest going to Rocheport and riding east along the bluffs and river. You could ride out as far as you think the kid's could ride and then back to Rocheport. On the east side of Rocheport there is a tunnel the kid's would enjoy and just before the tunnel there is a trail where you could park your bikes and take a walk. The kid's would also enjoy the cafe and bike shop at Rocheport. To the east there is alot of benches where you could stop and rest and the scenery is great. The Katy Trail Bed and Bikefest Bed and Breafast sits right along the trail and would be a nice place to stay. Go to the town of Rocheport on this site and you can get all the info you need. The trail is really flat all through this area so it would be a good place for the kid's to ride. Have a great trip!!

Trek Biker from St. Joseph, MO on 01/13/2008 08:15 PM
Use the Plan a Ride feature on this site to generate a list of bike rental shops along the trail. Visit their website and/or contact them to find out what they offer to rent...then you can determine if anyone offers the "quality" of bike that you require. I've rented from the bike shop in Rocheport several times and have never been disappointed. I didn't rent for a multiday ride though, understanding that although they were good bikes, I didn't expect the fit to equal the Brooks saddle on the Trek or the Santana longbike.
steve k from saint louis on 01/15/2008 07:31 AM
I rented from Momentum Cycles(St. Charles) & Katy Trail Bike rental in Defiance when my bike was broke down and was happy with both places. As far as "fitting the rider" they generally have just given me a bike that was big enough and let me go. If you think this is going to be big deal for you, then you probably need to call them. I think the bike shop in Defiance is shut down for the season, so I am not sure about contacting them. I believe the shop in St. Charles is open year round.

I am curious about something. The American Discovery Trail which, for those of you who don't know, crosses the entire country from Delaware to California, uses as part of its system the Katy Trail(http://www.discoverytrail.org/states/missouri/index.html)
The American Discovery Trail(ADT) allows horses on their whole trail. Two equestrians have completed the entire route. So I am curious how their rules interfaces with Katy Trail rules since clearly on the Katy only a limited part of the trail is designated for horses. I am planning a cross country trip on horseback and was planning on using the Illinois and Missouri section of the ADT for my route. Now I am confused. Can anyone shed light on this?

My husband and I are considering a ride from Greens Bottom to Defiance or Augusta. We are in our late twenties, work out regularly, but are novices to biking. Is it possible to bike to Defiance or Augusta (13 or 20 miles respectively one way), have some time to check out the town and bike back in one day? Or are we trying to do too much?
Trek on 01/29/2008 01:49 PM
There is a directly proportional relationship between the distance you can travel and how well adapted your hind side is to your bike saddle. Saddle time is key when preparing for a bike trip. Thirty to forty miles in a day is very doable though. If you only rode 5 mph you could ride 30 miles in 6 hours....plenty of time in the day to check out the trail. As long as your rear end holds up, you should be able to ride faster than 5 mph and cover more ground.
Katie from St. Charles on 01/30/2008 10:27 AM
Thanks for the info. Hopefully we'll have some time to "acclimate" our rears to the the bike. Incidentally, we are thinking about purchasing a bike for regular excercise on the trail. Is a hybrid bike the best way to go?
Trek on 01/30/2008 10:40 AM
In my opinion......yes. Ms. Trek would agree hands down too. She once rode a comfort model on rails trails and was amazed at how better suited the hybrid is now that she traded. Now we each ride a hybrid single on the rail trails and a Santana tandem on the street. Each is best suited for the riding conditions they encounter.
jp from St. Louis on 01/30/2008 04:47 PM
Good points made here trek. Saddle type is critical for comfort and proper skeletal support. Also on the hybrid suggestion; some folks do not know how that category of bicycle has evolved. Some hybrids are really roadbikes with a flat handlebar, that really move in comfort on the Katy. After a serious lumbar disc injury, I purchased a JAMIS CODA COMP which is a reynolds 520 steel framed flat bar bike, with a carbon fiber fork and a carbon fiber seatpost which I put on to replace the suspension seatpost. I put in 4,000 miles last year-in comfort. I bought the same bike(newer model year) for my wife who does not ride a lot, and we knocked down fifty on the Katy, and she could have gone farther that day. Make sure you use good, puncture-resistant rubber; also. I like the Panaracer t-serv messenger. Have fun.

The Frisco Highline Trail, Springfield to Bolivar.

Thats awesome. Does anyone know if there is a company that offers a shuttle between the two. Its not that far, but I imagine the roads are pretty hairy.

I have done the Frisco trail and it is fun. Although one could kill themselves and do it in one day, I rode from the Springfield TH to Bolivar, had a nice dinner, spent the night, and rode back the next morning. I was unable to find anyone to shuttle, and decided the cost of the hotel in Bolivar to be equivalent to a shuttle fee.

The negative comments posted over the past week by "John" and "Rodney" were posted from the same IP address and had matching browser cookies - in other words, both comments were posted from the same computer. Unless "Rodney" stole or bought a computer from "John" over the past week, they appear to be one in the same person.
Please be honest in posting to the forum. Otherwise, everything you say is highly suspect and cannot be taken seriously.
