We are heading to MO May 23rd to ride the Katy Trail. Is the flooding effecting the trail and Hermann, MO?? Or Boonville?

Check the Mo. state park website. Go to the Katy Trail State Park link, then click on "Advisory". As of 5/2, the only closure listed is due to construction, not flooding. Try this link:

Missouri weather can change quickly and often doesn't follow the weatherman. We started in Boonville a few years ago to do a Century with 30% chance of rain. It rained all day and we were forced to calling it quits at 70 miles with a flat tire. As stated on another thread sometimes you just have to make the best of the time you've chosen to ride.

I am a 76 yr old man who just finished the entire trail, Machens to Clinton, with 2 men in their 40s, staying in B&Bs about every 40 miles. We had rain 2 days, but the trail was still in near-perfect condition & we kept going wearing our raingear. There was no flooding, & no mud, even with the rain. The trail has good drainage almost everywhere.
