Last spring I rode from Rocheport to Mokane and back. As with most of the trail, the scenery there is interesting and varied, in this case, along the Missouri River and the river-valley farmland. At that time, geese were nesting in or near the bluffs and lagoons between Huntsdale and Jeff City. Spring flowers of all sizes were blooming everywhere.
Several of the village stops have eateries of somekind, and points of interest with trailside markers. The trailheads at Tebbets and Mokane are fairly sparce. However, trail-riders can rest at the Turner Katy Trail Hostel in Tebbets (also a convenience store and bar-grill there), and go into the town of Mokane, a block or two north of the trailhead. Enjoy.
