I am planning a trip from KS City all the way over to Richmond< IN and would like to know how I can get as close to KS City as possible to Rock Island Trail head! Any help with this is most appreciated.

I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking, but I probably have your answer if you can ask in a different way?.. Since you are riding all the way to Indiana, you probably are not afraid of street riding…but may need tips on which ones are to be avoided of course. Parking at Arrowhead Stadium (where the KC section of the Rock Island begins) is available, but we don’t know if you plan to drop a car off….which COULD be a problem if a game/event happens…..I don’t know if a car was already parked and an event comes along if that would be an issue….they DO restrict the lot to trail users during events. I rode from Westwood KS to Alton, Illinois and then down to St Louis in 2021. I also suggest Facebook group Fans of the Katy Trail and Facebook group “ the Rock Island trail (Kansas City to Pleasant Hill) for a great deal more information and feedback. This is an excellent webpage you’re on but feedback is limited. Also look at the links to various trails around the USA with links at bottom of these pages.

The Facebook page produces this result:

Private
Only members can see who's in the group and what they post.
Visible
Anyone can find this group.

Why not have the FB page available to everyone?

For me it generates no results.

Just request membership to the group. It's not exclusive. It's pretty active so you shouldn't take more than a day or so to get access. Probably quicker and more input than asking here.

Exclusive to those who are FB users and perpetuate the data mine.

I'm good.
