OK, I just have to ask. Does anyone know what those little red arrow signs,on white background mean? They point up and down the trail. I thought I had them figured out,thinking they point uphill. I soon discovered this is wrong! Help! It's just one of those little things one has to know. :) Also, I see the counter cameras all over the trail. Are those findings available? Thanks...ride on.

I don't have the answer, but have also wondered the what and why of those little red arrows. Just adding a comment to keep this bumped up and hopefully someone with an answer will post.

According to the DNR:

"If the signs you referenced are on the far west end of Katy Trail State Park, they indicate areas where we do not spray. We have some prairie plants right along the edge of the trail in that section."

MLH, Thanks for your response. I also spoke with one of the fine DNR trail maintenance men on the trail last week,who gave me the same answer. As we rode on past Boonville, we didn't see any more of the markers so I do believe it is only done by the "western" segment of trail. I also stopped and visited with the folks at the Boonville DNR office. Very nice people who were glad to hear from trail users first hand. (of course I was complimenting, and not whining or complaining about something!) We did notice that the trail surface is VERY dusty with a lot of lime on the far eastern end. To me that just gives it all that much more character!
