I can only devote 1 day along the Katy Trail. Would others please advise me on the most scenic stretches of the trail so I can make the most of my 1 day. Thank you.

In my opinion, the best of the Katy is just east of Rocheport. I'm sure some others will disagree.

I ride the katy a lot and have done everything between Clinton and Hartsburg. I'd agree that the stretch heading south out of Roacheport is the most scenic. For a one day ride, I'd suggest Roacheport to McBaine and back(~20mi total) or Roacheport to Columbia(turn off the Katy onto the MKT; one way ~20mi).

Columbia to Rocheport is a good ride....if you want to log a few more miles Rocheport to Hartsburg or North Jefferson gives you a good representation of the trail.

The trail from Rocheport to Hartsburg is closest to the Missouri river with large bluffs along the way. Its probably the most scenic, of course I'm biased living in Hartsburg. Come see us.

I vote Rocheport to Hartsburg. Bluffs on one side, the river on the other.

Sorry, I really can't help you with this. The best part of the katy Trail is the part I'm on.
