Wanting to experience the Katy Trail tomorrow. Coming from Hannibal. Would it be a good beginners ride to start in N. Jefferson and bike to Hartsburg for the Pumpkin Fest? How far is the trail from the town? Where would we park our bikes in Hartsburg? Are the views good?

Yes, it would be a good ride, but you will have lots of company. It is approx. 10 miles one way, runs along the river for a bit, it's a nice ride. You will run right into the middle of the festival, park your bikes and have a visit. Probably don't need to lock your bikes up, but I prefer to not worry about it, with a lock. It will be a fun day! Enjoy yourselves!

My wife and I rode from N. Jefferson to Hartsburg yesterday pulling our new DoggyRide trailer. Beautiful day to be on the trail!
