Check out the Columbia page on this site for details & map -- http://www.bikekatytrail.com/columbia.asp

There's a trail head where it connects to the Katy, but I don't think there's parking on that end. However, I believe there's lots of parking available on the Columbia end.

There is a trailhead with parking at McBaine, just a short distance east of the Columbia spur.

brad, you can also access the mkt fitness from stadium drive, about 2-3 miles m/l from I-70. there is a parking lot there and easy access to it. you might also check columbia, mo web site and find access to the mkt fitness trail there. thats how i found it. have fun, stay safe.

Parking for the MKT trail into Columbia is plentiful.
First off, the McBaine trailhead is about a quarter-mile west of Hindmann Junction - where the MKT connections with the Katy. Hindmann Junction has a large kiosk/bench that is impossible to miss. Along the MKT, there are parking lots at the Scott Blvd access, the Forum Blvd access, at the MLK memorial and at the end of the trail in downtown Columbia at Flatbranch Park.
