Katy Trail State Park is the longest rails-to-trails conversion in the U.S. The flat, 225-mile trail is open for hiking, running, walking, and bicycling through Missouri countryside. Many wineries, restaurants, bed and breakfast inns, motels, campgrounds and shopping opportunities are located along its length. More than half of the eastern section of the trail follows the Missouri River; after leaving the river, the trail meanders through peaceful farmland and small-town Missouri. Horseback riding is allowed on a 25-mile section between Calhoun and Sedalia. (The map below shows the locationof the Jefferson City trailhead only.)
