We are heading from Boonville thru Rocheport on 10/4 to Jeff City.
I am not sure about crossing the creek bed at Salt Creek as others have done. The state webpage says detour to Hwy 40 at County Road 467, but that is pretty far west.
Can we access Hwy 40 thru the Davisdale Conservation area to reduce time on Hwy 40?

Yes you can access Hwy 40 thru Davisdale parking area..
Heading west to east you will come to a barricade.. Turn right and cross little walkway bridge thru the parking area.. Then turn left onto hwy 40.. But if i was you i would cross hwy 40 and go left on gravel road until you reach levee.. Go up levee and cross creek.. You will see trail on left once you cross the creek.. If it hasnt rained for few days you prolly wont even get your feet wet.. We didnt

What about the Portland area trail damage..... can you walk your bike around this hazard?

If you look on the satellite view of Google Maps about 1.5 miles west of Portland, you can clearly see the rock slide that blocks the Katy Trail. You can also see the very easy 1-3/4 mile detour that uses Schmid Way and a short section of lightly traveled Route 94. You would be around the detour and riding the Katy Trail again in less time than climbing past the first 10 trees between the rock slide and Logan Creek.
