We did the trail with a trailer last June. Trailers such as a BOB or Burley work just fine. Just remember, you can't camp on the trail, only in designated Conservation Areas and commercial campgrounds.

I've used a BOB trailer many times on the trail with no problems. Have some type of encloser for your belongings on the trailer so they don't get covered in trail dust. \
You can also camp in some city parks in communities on the trail.

I have no experience pulling a trailer on the trail, but have seen many of them being used. The riders looked like they were doing fine with it. One exception that I remember; I spoke with a fellow that had the Bike Friday setup, bike and trailer/travel case, it was a struggle for him. He said the setup worked very well on roads but on the softer crushed limestone it was tough going, especially when he hit the more sandy softer spots.

He was headed to Clinton, I was headed to St. Charles, after we parted, I could see his tracks searching for the most solid part of the trail. I'm no engineer, but my guess is, that it had two wheels of a smaller diameter as opposed to the larger wheels and single wheeled trailers. That is assuming he wasn’t hauling a gold bar or two.

He had flown into St. Louis with bike in case, to ride the Katy. He said he really liked the Bike Friday and trailer, normally. It was a really nice looking setup, I must say!
