I haven’t been on the trail and looking for a nice flat 20 mile ride. I would like to know where the best place is to start, trail conditions, beginner friendly? I’ve been riding Cliff Cave and Castlewood, also attempted Greensfelder (which is not beginner friendly). I can handle hills, mud and water, beginner to intermediate. Thank you for your input.

Welcome to the Katy Trail! Once you've been on it you'll want to come back over and over.
From Oakville I'd suggest to start at Dutzow which is near Washington and ride out to Treloar. Round trip will be 21 miles. At the top of this page you can find a map and also a mileage chart to help you get started but I think that will be an easy drive for you to get to it and a nice ride.
Have fun!

Good burgers and friendly people in Treloar. Definitely a good midpoint.
