I'm wanting to plan a two or three day trip for three kids ages 5-8. They all can ride at least 5 mi on a faily flat trail--I'm not sure if they could go more than 8 or 10 in one day. Is there a part of the trail where the towns are closer together, and we could get off the trail and stay the night? How about kid friendly activites or nice parks along the way?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Sue

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!!
