We rode from Clinton out 15 miles and returned to Clinton. Trail was covered with so many leaves and they made the ride very interesting - they crackled- and the surface was hidden - but the surface was fine. We were on our gravel bikes and had a great time. Temperatures were pleasant- in the 60s. Most of this stretch would be shaded. Restrooms in Clinton were closed for winter. We loved it and want to come back and do the complete trail.
This trail is nice but the section from the “The Orchards” to Eckards is very open and loud next to Green Mount Road. The parking at the beginning section in The Orchards golf course is a good hike prior to starting on the path with no sidewalks or designated crosswalks. And the street is hilly with turns and drivers mostly can’t see you crossing or walking on the side of the street. Also crossing where the path ends puts you in someone’s back yard , walking around the pool & tennis courts. Parking at the at one of the other options would be much safer especially with kids.
This trail is the best maintained, marked and clean trails I have ever ridden. The trail surface is paved and in better condition than most of the areas highways! The prettiest portion is from the memorial hospital station to the Highway 161 station. Rode from Scott AFB to hwy 161 and back. Ride it soon! Get out there!
Nice paved bike path very woodsy and several bridges and several secondary roads. We were surprised to see the police patrolling the path but very reassuring.
This trail was really nice to bike. Says it’s 11.5 miles but there are 2 additional miles of what looks to be very new pavement. Total length now 13.5 miles. Trailhead at the very northern end now.
This Art installation is on the Katy trail just west of Matson. They are spectacular!
Interesting to see the water level in Hartsburg creek and the flood levels recorded on the bridge
Stopped by and rode part of this trail while on a trip to Florida. What an awesome trail. Most of our trails in Florida are paved so I was a little hesitant of the gravel but it was no problem. Huge rock bluffs, the river, wineries breweries and eating establishments, it’s awesome, who could ask for more. Rode 23 miles from Defiance to Marthasville for lunch and back. We’ll be back to do more in the future!!
I would have given this 4 stars if the trail was resurfaced and smooth.
If you appreciate multi-day riding, site seeing, camping or “glamping” (BnBs, Hotels…etc.) the Katy Trail is one that doesn’t disappoint. Less than 3000’ feet of elevation, with the largest gradient being about 2%, this is a flat, fast, and easy to pedal trail with crushed hard packed stone comprising over 95% of the trail surface. Road bikes with larger tires (35-40mm) tires can be used on this trail. Lots of great place to stop, eat, and see along this historic byway. If you haven’t done the Katy, add it to your list!
