The Katy trail is a 237 mile rails-to-trails path more than half of which follows the Missouri River. From visitmo.com: “The hard-packed, crushed limestone surface is fairly level and constant as it meanders through the countryside. With more than 30 trailheads along its length, the Katy is very easy to reach, offering trips of varying distance. The trail is handicap-accessible.” For details on the trail and trailheads see the pdf on Accessibility Information .
