Are horses allowed on the Katy Trail?
Yes, horseback riding is allowed between Calhoun and the Sedalia Fairgrounds trailhead, a total distance of approximately 25 miles. Trailhead parking lots along the equestrian section of the Katy Trail are designed to accommodate horse trailer parking. See this KT Comment discussion thread for a discussion of cyclists’ concerns regarding the horses on the trail. As the sign to the right indicates, cyclists and runners/hikers should yield to horseback riders. Here’s a MO Department of Natural Resources press release regarding the success of making this section of the Katy Trail a “multiuse” trail (i.e. allowing horses). Back to Top Will my cell phone work on the trail? Yes and no. Most areas have coverage, although some of the more remote areas are not covered. Naturally, areas around towns and cities are more likely to have coverage. Definitely bring your cell phone along; you never know when you’ll need it!
