Forgot to ask. Is most of the trail open now? Any areas still closed due to flooding?

We rode from St Charles to Portland in several segments and there was no flooding. We did it over four days from August 12 to 15.

There is a section between Rocheport and New Franklin that is still closed. The trail bridge under the Hwy 40 bridge pushed off the frame and is off to the side & the creek is wider than it was.

The section from McBaine East to Coopers Landing is open and not bad. I rode a bit past Coopers Landing and after the third silty sand pit across the trail I turned around and went back. It was a work night so I was on a time limit.

That is all I know about that.

Is there a way around the closed section? We have a multiple day ride planned next month that goes right through this section... thank you!

Scott in case you had not seen in other threads, yes there is a detour that uses, in part, HWY 40. Not ideal, but doable.
