Katy Trail News

The dream of riding your bike from Kansas City to St. Louis entirely via rail trail is quickly becoming a reality.

BikeWalkKC has provided a nice update to plans along those lines.

BikeWalkKC Katy Trail Update

The link between Pleasant Hill and Windsor, which was made possible by a settlement with the operator of Taum Sauk Reservoir due to environmental damages caused by the reservoir's collapse and subsequent flooding of the valley bellow, is nearing completion.

Meanwhile, Jackson County leaders are putting together a plan for an extension that will take the trail from Pleasant Hill and the Truman Sports Complex.

BikeWalkKC has the wider goal of linking the trail to Kansas' Flint Hills Nature Trail, which will extend the  trail into the hinterlands of the Sunflower State.

I could not be more excited.
