Definitely READ DIRECTIONS AT TRAIL closure (both east and west bound), because the detour is NOT marked on the highway, involves a hill climb and 60-mph traffic, so you don't have time to puzzle it out along the way.

We were forced onto detour at abou 81 miles into our ride on a hot, hot day. The detour is hilly and the motorists are jerks. I think it would be very helpful for there to be a sign on the road saying that the trail is closed and to be mindful of the bike traffic. I would have chosen the trail over the road any day, but the motorists need to know what is going on!

I ran into this detour last year in early May, and it was a bummer. Can any recent riders speak to whether this portion of the trail is clear now, or, for that matter, if there are any current detours, obstructions? Thanks all. Planning to ride whole trail mid-May 2012.

The river receded long ago last year. Ride on.

I just rode the trail from Jeff City to Boonville yesterday. There are a few rough spots from recent storms but all is open. Enjoy your trip in May.
