We rode our bikes on the trail today and we were so impressed! We drove out from southern Overland Park to ride it. We loved that it is very well maintained and the scenery is gorgeous! It's an amazing 16 ish mile ride. Prepare for some hills and bring plenty of water! I can't wait to come back in the fall when the leaves turn. We did have trouble finding the start point but once we did we realized it was right there across from the Argosy Hotel check in area.
We wanted to ride from Springfield to Bolivar, but the trail condition from Willard to Walnut Grove was poor. That section was so grass covered we were barely able to stay upright. This section has not been mowed, apparently never been graded. It appears to be just an overgrown country road.
Trail has been extended It now just over 2 miles longIt crosses train tracksKind of weird the way ends at the tracks and restarts on the other side with no crossing
Nice trail to ride. A good southern breeze and old Tamko will open up your sniffer. Other than that, fun to ride
This is a beautiful trail but there is no way I could have seen it all without an ebike. Rented ebikes locally for a couple hours and were able to connect over to the trail of honor and ride along the James River. There is also a connect to the Nature Center.
Just took the family (with two kids, a 3yo who I pulled in a trailer behind my bike, and a 9yo who had negligible experience off pavement) to ride a portion in mid March 2026. I wasn't sure how flat it was so I was concerned for how my 9yo would handle it. We explored about 18 miles east and west of Augusta and also went west from Marthasville about halfway to Treloar. Trail was really flat, pretty smooth, and a good introduction to a different trail surface for our 9yo. We had some issues with the wind and not being there during tourist season, but still had a good time and I hope we can make it back when our 3yo is big enough to pedal it.
Are there places to charge your e tricycle along the way? I would love to ride the trail but I have range anxiety
I rode this last year in September, from the old Chain of Rocks Bridge to just south of the Gateway Arch. It was a very good ride. Certainly not a traditional rail trail, but an interesting ride through parkland. industrial development, and great river views. There were a few places where the correct direction was a little unclear, but nothing serious. A very pleasant experience and I hope to do it again.
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.
