Katy Trail State Park, Missouri
Katy Trail State Park is very different from most state parks in Missouri, as it is currently around 225 miles long but generally only several feet wide at any given point. The trail is built on the location of the former Missouri/Kansas/Texas (MKT, or "Katy" for short) railway between St. Charles, MO and Sedalia, MO, and the Union Pacific railway between Sedalia and Clinton, MO. The trail may eventually be extended east to the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, and west towards Kansas City.

My Adopted Mile
The Katy Trail has an Adopt-A-Trail program in which a person or organization can "adopt" a mile of the trail (from one milepost to the next). For a relatively small annual donation, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources will perform trash pickup, better maintenance, etc. on the designated mile. In addition to Adpot-A-Trail, other programs are available to assist with trail beautification and use. Visit the official Katy Trail site for more information.
