About this route
Transport your ride from Illinois's 18-mile Chicago Lakefront Trail and Tunnel Hill through Shawnee National Forest to Missouri's 240-mile Katy Trail. These neighboring states share the heartland's cycling heritage, connecting Lake Michigan skyline rides with the country's longest rail-trail along the Missouri River.
Missouri's Katy Trail State Park stretches 240 miles from Clinton to Machens along the former Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad corridor, following the Missouri River through limestone bluffs, wine country, and small river towns. This crushed-limestone path is the longest rail-trail in the United States and draws touring cyclists from around the world, many of whom pair it with the Rock Island Trail extension to create a cross-state route. Beyond the Katy, the Ozark Trail offers rugged singletrack through Mark Twain National Forest, and St. Louis's growing urban cycling network includes the Gateway Bike Plan's expanding protected lanes. For Illinois riders, crossing the Mississippi to reach Missouri's trails feels like stepping into a different cycling world defined by river bluffs and vineyard-lined paths.
Bike shipping between Illinois and Missouri is one of the fastest and most economical corridors available, with most deliveries between Chicago and St. Louis or Kansas City completing within a single business day. The close proximity means bikes spend minimal time in transit, reducing the risk of shipping damage. Riders heading to the Katy Trail should consider shipping a touring or gravel setup with wider tires and rack mounts, and packing panniers or bikepacking bags alongside the bike to avoid separate luggage shipments. The trail's small towns have limited bike shop access, so arriving with a fully prepared setup saves time.
