I agree. St.Charles trail head (TH) is probably the best spot to park your car along the Katy Trail system. The parking is not actually at the TH but is approximately 200-400 yards back where the Katy trail swing-arm gates are (the Lewis & Clark Boathouse parking lot). Park on the far side of the parking lot (to the right as you enter) and not the main parking in front of the Boathouse. Most business employees and visitors also park here. To my knowledge, it's a safe place. About 200 plus DNR 2009 riders parked here last week w/o any issues when they returned.
