(paved path between Hwy 40 bridge and Weldon springs)
I know it's been on here before, but the connector opened last weekend. If you're
coming from the highway, you'll never find it (no signs up on the road yet). SO, here's
directions:
Take Highway 40 to Mo Research Park exit, just west of the Boone Bridge (now open east
and westbound). From Hwy 40 westbound, turn right off the round-about and go over
the overpass. From Hwy 40 eastbound, turn right. Follow the road back to the stop
sign. If you look to your left, you will see a drive that heads down into the woods. Take
this quick left down to the Duckett Creek water works (12 Mo Research Park Drive?).
Can't miss the trailhead at the bottom.
We had the place to ourselves today, except for the lone mountain biker that followed us,
"because we looked like we knew where we were going" and was surprised to find himself
on the Katy Trail!
