Confirmed from Katy Trail - Rocheport Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park featuring picnic tables and a public restroom, along with a trail that's good for walking and biking.
What runners say about Katy Trail - Rocheport Trailhead
“was a bunch of beautiful scenery and the temps weren't too hot due to the amount of shade on the trail.”
“Easy to navigate and several benches to stop and enjoy the scenery.”
We love Katy Trail out of Rocheport. There so much to see along this section, the cliffs and the river are stunning.
Clean, scenic trail. Enjoyed the fresh air and the Missouri River. Will bring bikes next time. Plenty of parking.
Rode the katie trail section located at Rocheport Mo. through the old train tunnel which is supposedly one of very few still left in Missouri. There are restrooms and drinking fountains at the old train depot and a small winery/restaurant across the street.
Very unique little town. Small vineyard style wine store. Really cool resturant with biking as the theme. Everyone in town is receptive to bikers. Lots and lots of places to park. Seems very safe. Modern heated restrooms. Water available. This is very cool along the Katy Trail
