We have camping reservations at Katfish Katys for Memorial Day Weekend. But I am seeing info that the campground is underwater. Attempted to check their website, which is linked here, and it appears to be down also.

Ray, perhaps you know, or someone else, what the chances are that they will be open for business on Memorial Day weekend.

I don't think anyone can answer that right now, even the folks from Katfish Katy's. If we see more rain over the next week or two, then it might be doubtful. But if we have sunny weather, hopefully the waters will recede quickly. The river should hit its highest crest this weekend (barring more rain), so that should give us an idea of just how bad things will get, and hopefully only improve starting early next week.If I hear any information about trail businesses closing or reopening, I'll post it on this forum as well as on the home page. If anyone has any additional information, please pass it along. Let's all try to keep each other informed.Those of you who have trips planned in the next few weeks may also want to check the local news websites often - they're closest to the action, and this will be their top news story for a while:Columbia Daily TribuneColumbia MissourianBoonville Daily NewsJeff City News TribuneSt Louis Post Dispatch (St Charles area)

The river will drop more than 10 feet by Tuesday. In most areas that flood, the main clean up to be done is debris removal. Barring any unforeseen damage, Katfish Katys will be up and open for business in a relatively short amount of time. The response time of Boone County services to protect Rocheport, Huntsdale, Wilton & Hartsburg was truly incredible. I will post more information as it becomes available. But this is an incredibly short-lived event who's longest-lived ill effects are actually the result of the media (OH MY GOD THE RIVER HAS WASHED EVERYONE AWAY!) rather than the flood. Keep in mind the river always has a spring rise. This one was just larger. Most river towns are pretty used to preparing for these type events. ~Brett Dufur, Rocheport
