Trail Condition: County and State Update

We also get a lot of calls on the condition of the trails that are managed by the Boone County Public Works Department and the Missouri State Parks. Here's a quick update on the current conditions as reported by these agencies:

MKT--Scott Blvd to McBaine. Boone County Public Works is currently grading the trail and hope to have it restored by the end of the week. However, they are also sealing the wood on the bridges and have several of them closed. The goal is to have the bridges open by the end of the day on Friday, 9/26/08. The best way to find out current condition of the County owned trail sections is to call the County at 573-886-4400. This number is good Mon-Fri, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Katy Trail State Park--Missouri State Park. There is a website that posts current conditions of the Katy Trail. Unfortunately, it has not been updated since 9/19/08. In calling the Mo State Park phone number, 800-334-6946, I found that the water has receded, the trail is open, but still rough in some places. State Park staff is busy working on the trail now. No time table for when repairs may be completed.
