Stop near mile marker 163 on the Katy Trail to see Boathenge—a circle of upright fiberglass boats arranged like Stonehenge on the Missouri River floodplain. Built in the 1990s, it’s easy to spot near Cooper’s Landing.

Flat Branch Park is where the MKT Trail starts. It’s an easy, mostly flat crushed-limestone path through shady green space that links to the Katy Trail.

This trail is mostly flat, making it perfect for biking, walking, and running. About half of the trail follows the Missouri River, offering stunning views of towering limestone bluffs and the wide river.

Between Rocheport and Huntsdale, the Katy Trail skirts the base of the majestic Manitou Bluffs—towering limestone cliffs shaped by the Missouri River's erosive power. These bluffs hold deep cultural significance, adorned with ancient Native American pictographs and burial mounds atop their heights. Early explorers, including Lewis and Clark, documented these sites in the early 1800s.

Just off the Katy Trail near McBaine stands the McBaine Bur Oak, affectionately known as the Burr Oak Big Tree. Estimated to be between 350 and 400 years old, this majestic tree boasts a trunk circumference of 287 inches, a height of approximately 90 feet, and a canopy spread of 130 feet. As the largest bur oak in Missouri, it shares the title of national champion with a counterpart in Kentucky. Situated about half a mile from the Missouri River, it's believed that the Lewis and Clark Expedition passed within sight of this enduring natural landmark. Accessible via a short detour from the trail, the tree offers a serene spot to pause and reflect amidst the beauty of the Missouri River floodplain.
