The '''Katy Trail State Park''' is a [[Missouri National and State Parks|state park]] in the U.S. state of [[Missouri]] that contains the '''Katy Trail''', the country's longest continuous recreational [[rail trail]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.traillink.com/trail/katy-trail-state-park.aspx|title=Katy Trail State Park|publisher=Rails-to-Trails Conservancy|access-date=2012-04-17|archive-date=April 13, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120413114948/http://www.traillink.com/trail/katy-trail-state-park.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref> It runs {{Convert|240|mi|km}}, largely along the northern bank of the [[Missouri River]], in the former [[Right-of-way (railroad)|right-of-way]] of the [[Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad]].<ref name=history>{{cite web |title=Trail History and Features at Katy Trail State Park |url=http://mostateparks.com/page/57943/trail-history-and-features |publisher=Missouri Department of Natural Resources |access-date=2012-05-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120510164016/http://mostateparks.com/page/57943/trail-history-and-features |archive-date=2012-05-10 }}</ref> Open year-round from sunrise to sunset, it serves [[Hiking|hikers]], [[jogging|joggers]], and [[cycling|cyclists]]. Its hard, flat surface is of "limestone pug" (crushed [[limestone]]).

The nickname "Katy" comes from the phonetic pronunciation of "KT", a short form of the railroad's abbreviated name, MKT. Sections of the Katy are also part of the [[Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail]] and the [[American Discovery Trail]].

==History==
Conversion of right-of-way to a trail was made possible by the [[National Trails System Act]] of 1968. In 1982, the city of [[Columbia, Missouri|Columbia]] opened the [[MKT Trail]] on an abandoned spur of the Katy as one of the first rails-to-trails pilot projects in the United States.

On October 4, 1986, floodwater from the Missouri River severely damaged the track along the [[Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad]]'s route from [[Sedalia, Missouri|Sedalia]] to [[Machens, Missouri]]. The route had been washed out and repaired many times, but this time, railroad officials decided not to return the tracks to service. Trains were re-routed, and the right-of-way was to be abandoned.  The Missouri Department of Natural Resources purchased the right-of-way with a donation from [[Edward D. "Ted" Jones]] and Pat Jones of Williamsburg and [[St. Louis]]. In 1990, the first segment of the trail officially opened in Rocheport.<ref>{{cite news |title=Event marks Katy Trail's 20th anniversary |url=http://www.columbiamissourian.com/stories/2010/03/29/event-marks-katy-trails-20th-anniversary/ |work=Columbia Missourian |date=29 March 2010 |access-date=4 May 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130119235645/http://www.columbiamissourian.com/stories/2010/03/29/event-marks-katy-trails-20th-anniversary/ |archive-date=19 January 2013 }}</ref>

In 1991, the [[Union Pacific Railroad]] donated {{Convert|33|mi|km|0}} of right-of-way from Sedalia to [[Clinton, Missouri|Clinton]].

The trail was initially planned for completion in 1994. However, the [[Great Flood of 1993]] damaged {{Convert|75|mi|km|0}} of the original {{Convert|126|mi|km|0}} of the trail. The completed trail from St. Charles to Sedalia was finally opened in 1996; the section from Sedalia to Clinton opened in 1999.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gocolumbiamo.com/ParksandRec/Parks/MKT_Trail/mkthistory.php |title=MKT Nature and Fitness Trail History |publisher=City of Columbia, Missouri |access-date=May 4, 2007 |archive-date=September 28, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928003343/http://www.gocolumbiamo.com/ParksandRec/Parks/MKT_Trail/mkthistory.php |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name=history/>

In 2011, the trail was expanded to include the corridor from St. Charles to Machens.<ref name=slpd>{{cite news|last=Schlinkmann|first=Mark|title=Long-delayed Katy Trail section reopens|url=http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/stcharles/article_5affe584-e072-5b52-8945-140f57633042.html|access-date=4 May 2012|newspaper=St. Louis Post Dispatch|date=2 April 2011|archive-date=April 4, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110404215026/http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/stcharles/article_5affe584-e072-5b52-8945-140f57633042.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Trail networks ==
A new section of trail on the Rock Island railroad corridor opened in December 2016.  The Rock Island Spur starts at [[Windsor, Missouri|Windsor]], on the Katy Trail, and runs 47 miles northwest towards Kansas City.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://mostateparks.com/page/65916/rock-island-spur |title=Rock Island Spur |website=Missouri State Parks |date=10 February 2017 |access-date=2019-12-28 |archive-date=December 27, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191227014502/https://mostateparks.com/page/65916/rock-island-spur |url-status=live }}</ref> The trail, originally slated to be named [[Rock Island Trail State Park (Missouri)|Rock Island Trail State Park]], extends the trail system to the suburbs of [[Kansas City, Missouri|Kansas City]] at [[Pleasant Hill, Missouri|Pleasant Hill]] on [[Railbanking|rail banked]] right-of-way of the [[Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad]].<ref name='onpace'>{{cite web

A settlement to allow the use of this portion of the Rock Island corridor was reached between Missouri Governor [[Matt Blunt]] and [[Ameren]] as partial compensation for a flood which devastated [[Johnson's Shut-ins State Park]] after the failure of a dam owned by Ameren.<ref>{{cite news |title=AmerenUE settlement includes money for Katy Trail |url=http://www.joplinindependent.com/display_article.php/admin21196381630 |work=Joplin Independent |date=29 November 2007 |access-date=2 January 2009 |archive-date=May 11, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080511195201/http://www.joplinindependent.com/display_article.php/admin21196381630 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Efforts are being made to extend that trail from Pleasant Hill further into the center of the Kansas City metro area. A six-mile segment of that trail opened in the Lee's Summit area in 2019.

Plans are underway to add another {{convert|144|mi|km|adj=on}} unused section of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific to Rock Island Trail State Park, which, with the Katy, would create a {{convert|450|mi|km|adj=on}} trail network.<ref name="ritsp">{{cite web

The extension would run from Windsor to [[Beaufort, Missouri|Beaufort]], near [[Washington, Missouri|Washington]].  Preliminary plans are to then extend the trail into Washington from where it could cross the Missouri River to connect to the Katy Trail again, completing a cross-state loop.

A "quad state" proposal would connect the Katy and other existing trails in [[Missouri]], [[Kansas]], [[Iowa]], and [[Nebraska]].<ref name="quadstate">{{cite web |url=http://mobikefed.org/2005/07/quad-state-trail-system-mapped-over-700-miles-of-trail-linking-mo-ks-ne-ia.php |title=Quad-state trail system mapped--over 700 miles of trail linking MO, KS, NE, IA |first=Brent |last=Hugh |date=June 30, 2005 |publisher=Missouri Bicycle & Pedestrian Federation |access-date=October 3, 2012 |archive-date=September 27, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120927000219/http://mobikefed.org/2005/07/quad-state-trail-system-mapped-over-700-miles-of-trail-linking-mo-ks-ne-ia.php |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Route==
The Katy Trail currently begins at Machens (mile-marker 27) on the [[Missouri River]] and runs along the northern bank of the river for most of the trail's length. The next major city along the trail is [[Jefferson City, Missouri|Jefferson City]], the state capital. At mile-marker 169.9 (McBaine), the trail intersects the [[MKT Trail]], which leads into downtown [[Columbia, Missouri|Columbia]], the largest city along the trail. The Katy trail then deviates from the rail route, crossing the Missouri River at [[Boonville, Missouri|Boonville]] on the Boonslick Bridge instead of the original [[Missouri–Kansas–Texas Bridge|MKT Bridge]], then running to its terminus in [[Clinton, Missouri|Clinton]] at mile-marker 264.6.<ref>{{cite web |title=Clinton Trailhead, Mile Marker 264.6 |work=Katy Trail State Park |date=13 February 2011 |publisher=Missouri State Parks |url=http://mostateparks.com/location/57592/clinton-trailhead |access-date=2012-04-17 |archive-date=January 15, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120115190359/http://mostateparks.com/location/57592/clinton-trailhead |url-status=live }}</ref>

==MKT bridge at Boonville==
[[Image:Mkt-bridge1.jpg|thumb|right|Former [[Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad Depot (Boonville, Missouri)|MKT depot]] in Boonville, with the MKT Bridge in the distance]]
The Katy Trail is part of the U.S. [[Railbanking|railbank]], which means it must remain connected to the national railway network so that it could be returned to active railway use. The segment of the trail between St. Charles and Sedalia was connected in two locations. One of these connections is in St. Charles and the other was provided by the [[Missouri–Kansas–Texas Bridge]] at Boonville. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources was granted the right to keep the bridge in place and to use it at the MDNR's discretion as part of the trail under the Interim Trail Agreement of June 25, 1987. But on April 28, 2005, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources amended the agreement, abandoning its rights to the bridge and allowing Union Pacific to remove the bridge and thus creating two independent segments in the trail, east and west of Boonville. If the connection in St. Charles is destroyed or otherwise rendered unusable by rail (such as by natural disaster), the segment of the trail between St. Charles and Boonville would lose its railbanked status and ownership of the land would probably revert to its original owners from before the MKT Line was built. The same could happen to the segment east of Boonville if its connection is lost.

On February 4, 2010, Missouri Governor [[Jay Nixon]] announced that [[Union Pacific Railroad]] would give the bridge to the city of [[Boonville, MO|Boonville]], ending a nearly six-year dispute over the bridge and the trail.<ref name=nixon>{{cite press release |url=https://governor.mo.gov/news/archive/gov-nixon-announces-agreement-principle-will-preserve-historic-katy-bridge-boonville |title=Gov.
