Jackson County & the KCATA are planning to officially open the first 6-mile section of the Rock Island Trail from Lee's Summit to the south Raytown area in June 2019.

So how do you get from this new Rock Island Trail segment to the Rock Island Trail in Pleasant Hill. How do you get from the Amtrak Station in Pleasant Hill to the new Jackson County Rock Island Trail or the State Parks Rock Island Trail in Pleasant Hill?

We have mapped bicycle-friendly routes to make all of these connections, and the main Rock Island connector between Lee's Summit and Pleasant Hill is now marked on-street with fluorescent orange arrows and initials "RI". More details here:

Brett thank you for everything that you and your organization have done to help make this happen. Very exciting to see the Rock Island Trail expanding westward!

Is there a bike route from Independence to RI trail head or a schutte service.

Happy Trails
