My wife and I have been riding for a few months now and are interested in taking a ride on the Katy Trail. We are thinking of riding from Booneville to Hartsburg, spending the night and riding back the next day. How is the trail between these two points? Are there many hills, are they steep, or is the trail pretty flat? Also can anyone recommend lodging in Hartsburg and places to eat? Thanks

Once you cross the river at Boonville, this section of the trail is as flat as a board.

Dotties in Hartsburg is the place for good eats at a fair price.

The winery has great food and has just recently re-opened. There are also a couple of B &
B's...check this site for links to those places. Don't forget to stop in at Hartsburg Cycle
Depot...great fruit smoothies and the best coffee on the Trail!

Sounds like a great ride! I rode Rocheport to Hartsburg last Sunday and returned on Monday. The Globe Hotel B&B receives a lot of good comments on this board, but I have not stayed there myself. I camped at Volunteer Park. As for places to eat, I highly recommend Les Bourgeois Winery in Rocheport. There is also Lucy's at McBaine and Cooper's Landing at Easley. Hartsburg has Dotty's Cafe and Summit Lake Winery. Be sure and check the business hours when planning your trip! There is little or nothing to eat in Hartsburg on a Monday or Tuesday. The room rates for the Globe Hotel B&B shown on this site are out of date. I have information from Jeanette the owner of the Globe that I will send to the webmaster since Jeanette does not have internet access at this time.

Pilot Grove to Booneville is a blissfull downhill chute. You can literally go miles without pedaling if the trail is dry and you get a little tailwind. Once you clear Booneville going East, the trail is flat, flat, flat.

You'll love Katfish Katy's. Linda Lou is an absolute doll.
