Missouri Bicycle Trails and Trail Maps
Missouri Bicycle Trails
This page lists trails that are mostly off-road, both multi-use trails (relatively wide and sometimes paved) and single-track mountain bike trails (narrow and unpaved). See also the Missouri Maps and Routes page for the type of "trail" that is (or is mostly) an on-road route.
| On this page: |
- A complete list of bicycle trails and multi-use paths in Missouri (Rail-trails, greenways, and the like).

Other helpful links for a Katy Trail bicycle trip:- BikeKatyTrail.com is a site with all manner of information about the Katy Trail, destinations, accommodations, and travel information. It has an active discussion area. Highly recommended!

- How to get from downtown St. Louis to the Katy Trail
- How to get from Kansas City to the Katy Trail:
- See the proposed cross-state routes map for routes from Kansas City to the Katy Trail
- The 2004 MS150 used a nice route (see map, PDF format, 6 MB) from the Kansas City area to Windsor, which is near the western end of the Katy Trail. Combining that map with the second day map (PDF, 4MB) also gives a nice route from Sedalia to the Kansas City metro area. For ideas about getting from anywhere in the KC Metro area to the starting point of these maps, look at this bicycling map of Jackson County, MO.
- A possible on-road route from Pleasant Hill (edge of Kansas City metro area) to Clinton, Calhoun, or Windsor (west end of Katy Trail).
- Amtrak will take you and your bike to several points on the Katy Trail, and shuttle services are available. A little more Amtrak info here.
- The American Discovery Trail--a network of on- and off-road routes stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. The route through Missouri goes from St. Louis to Kansas City and uses the Katy Trail to cover much of the distance.
