My wife and I are looking to stay one night in the Rocheport/Boonville/Columbia area and would like to ride between 20 and 30 miles both days were are in the area. Recommendations for where to ride would be appreciated. Is the trail between Rocheport and Boonville closed? Thank you!

I would recommend a ride from Columbia downtown or Mcbaine to Rocheport or Boonville. That stretch of the trail is well maintained, and provides scenic river views.

The trail is still closed between Boonville and Rocheport, but a detour on a stretch of highway will get you around it. Some bikers have opted to just carry their bike across the Salt Creek.

If you're looking for a place to stay, the Blufftop Bungalow in Rocheport is a beautiful new construction, with Meriwether Cafe just steps away. Boonville's historic Hotel Frederick is another option, right off the trail with shopping and dining close by.

Should you find yourself in Sedalia, we are less than a mile from the trail and have a restaurant and lounge on property. If staying the night be sure to mention you are riding the Katy Trail to receive a 20% discount.
Safe Travels!
