I am considering a ride between N. Jeff City and Hartsburg with an 8-year-old. Can you describe the ride: shaded/treed? flat? scenic or not? Is the N. Jeff City trailhead safe to park at? Any other recommendations? Want to stay at a hotel with a pool. We'll ride out and back the same day.

The ride from N. Jefferson to Hartsburg is flat, scenic and has plenty of shade. The parking area is fine to park at for the day.

If you're looking for a hotel with a pool, you'll find them in Jeff City. We stayed at the Baymont, which has a pool and was very reasonably priced. I'd also highly suggest riding the special bike bridge across the river at Jeff City. Awesome views of the river and the capitol building. And a really cool multi-level ramp to get there. Have fun!

Thank you! That helps a great deal.

I believe that some of the Jeff City hotels will let you leave your car in their parking lot and may even shuttle you to the trailhead. Worth asking.
