The Katy Trailhead in Boonville, Missouri offers many of the attractions you would expect in one of the trails larger stops but keeps the small town feel. If biking from Rocheport you will be treated to a ride across the Boonslick Bridge where you can take in the sights of the historic Katy bridge that spans over the Big Muddy.
The historic Katy Bridge is in the process of a restoration and residents hope to one day open the entire span to the public. More details can be found at http://savethekatybridge.org/
Once you cross the span of the Boonslick bridge you will be greeted to historic main street with turn of the century buildings such as Hotel Frederick. The best burger in mid Missouri can be found a few blocks down Main at Maggie’s Bar and Grill, or, you can follow the Katy Trail past the Isle of Capri Casino and visit the beautiful trailhead.
The historic Boonville MKT Depot houses the Boonville Chamber of Commerce. You can explore the restored MKT caboose and museum!
Historic Main street offers plenty of shopping, restaurants, and small town charm.
