My wife and I will be finishing the trail this weekend (Oct 4, 2020) and I wanted to ask if there were any updates on the trail detour about 3 miles west of Rocheport. We will be riding east to west.
We had read in the KT Forum there was a good possibility of navigating the nearby levee to cross (weather permitting) without using the Hwy 40 detour.
Any specific directions would be appreciated.

The Fans of the Katy Trail Facebook group has lots of maps and pictures from people who have just this week used the levee and paved concrete channel to cross Salt Creek because the water is low right now. If you are not a Facebook user, then go to Google Maps, type in Davisdale, MO for the city and it will take you right to the area. Switch the map to satellite view and you will see a light gray outline that details where you leave the Katy Trail and how the path along the levee turns and crosses the Salt Creek paved low water crossing. Walk back up the levee on the other side, continue a short distance along the Conservation Road, cross 40 Highway to the Davisdale gravel parking lot, and then take the narrow walkway bridge back over Salt Creek and continue west on the Katy Trail. I will warn you that the current Google Map satellite view shows the wooden Katy Trail bridge still in place over Salt Creek, but trust me, it is washed out and in pieces nearby.

Thanks, Mark. That is great to know!

we rode the levee yesterday and cycled across the dry crossing. It is raining today so that could affect crossings in the short term. I think rainfall total is expected to be .10 inch of rain. Worse case scenario- you turn around and take the road.

I rode through the Salt Creek crossing yesterday (Oct 4) and didn't even get my tires wet.
