Are some area of the Katy asphalt or concrete? If so, where?

It is covered in crushed limestone, which packs hard and is suitable for running, hiking, or any kind of bike (though mountain bikes and hybrids might be more comfortable than road bikes). For runners, the surface absorbs impact well, and is much easier on runners' legs than cement or asphalt. The crushed limestone can be dusty; you and your bike will get dusty. For multi-day bike rides, you may want to bring along something to clean your chain.

Through town in Boonville part of the trail is cement. Through town in Sedalia part of the trail is on the city street which is asphalt.
