According to an article in the Quad City (IA) Times, "A bicycling masterpiece could be in the making."

Planners in several states are hoping to use a combination and local and federal funds to put together a 2,500 mile bike route, the Mississippi River Trail.

"When completed, the trail will include a link of on-road and off-road trails from the birthplace of the Mississippi River in Minnesota to where it merges with Gulf of Mexico waters in Louisiana."

Missouri planners have been busy plotting out the part of the route through Missouri--you can find maps and information on MississippiRiverTrail.org. The Missouri section of the trail is already signed an in place from Hannibal to St. Louis and from St. Louis on south.
