Hi
We are a couple wanting to bike the entire Katy trail now.
Are there designated detours in all locations that are closed? In other words, is it possible to bike the entire trail using detours, or are there areas that you just can't go forward because of no designated detours.
Thanks for any help!

I can't speak for the whole trail but if you call me at the Bluffton Barn I can give you "This is what I do you have to decide for yourself what you are capable of" information for the rides I do within 20 miles either way of Bluffton. The trail was underwater by Portland this morning but the river is dropping.

The only way to know is to get out there and give it your best shot. Sure, you will probably run into water covered, mud covered, washed out, stinky mosquito infested sections of the trail and will need to make decisions on how best to deal with what nature throws at you, but hey, what a story you will have to share with you fellow cyclists.

I was riding Saturday (6/29/19) from Treloar to Matson and found the Trail fenced off about a mile or so past Augusta. I went around the fence and a little further found the bridge out and no detour. About a 20ft gap and didn't want to portage thru. Riding alone, that didn't seem like a good idea.

If you past Augusta going east you have to detour thru Klondike Park. I not sure there is a sign for the detour. It's a very steep uphill entrance to the park. That's the way around the bridge replacement that's happening.

Even at "flood stage" most of the Katy remains above water. Flood stage has many levels, minor, moderate and major.
ALL THE PREDICTIONS COMING FROM THE ADVANCED HYDRAULIC PREDICTION SERVICE are showing only MINOR FLOODING at all gauges. Most of the trail should be back up and running in a couple weeks.
