How safe is the Katy Trail?
It’s very safe – there is little or no crime, and many regular trail riders have never felt the need to lock their bikes. Of course it’s also much safer than cycling or running on a road with traffic. Here’s a county-by-county list of emergency phone numbers for the various county sheriffs offices, just in case. The biggest danger, in my opinion, is crossing roads and highways at intersections with traffic, such as multiple crossings of highway 94 on the eastern end of the trail. Cars approach at 60MPH, and drivers often are not paying attention. Be careful!!!
