Summary: An excellent guide to the Katy
Review: I have only seen two other guide books devoted to Missouri's Katy Trail, but this one is hands-down the best. It covers the Katy from west to east and has a wealth of historical information on the towns along the trail. There is also a fold-out map of the trail and a table of mileages between points along the trail. Good information is given on services available along the trail. The only serious criticism I have of the book is that I'd like to see more detail given to the directions for getting to the trail from I-70 at each access point along the trail.Overall, this is an excellent trail guide to the Katy Trail and an excellent book in general.

Summary: Biking Missouri's "Big" Rail-Trail
Review: I liked the Complete Katy Trail Guide Book so much that I recommended Brett Dufurs book in my Biking Missouri's Rail-Trails guidebook!!! Brett's book was an excellent companion for me to carry in my front bike bag as I biked my one week journey across the "Show Me" state from St. Charles to Clinton. This book also really helped me out in my planning for this trip; Especially the restaurants and the overnight stays. The "sag service" information was also very helpful in my plans to return back from point B to point A, not to mention, the information to making my Amtrack reservations. This book is a must for any cyclist who wants to make a multi-day visit to the Katy Trail State Park.

Summary: Very valueable
Review: I used this book on two seperate trips on the Katy trail from end to end. I used the 5th addition in 2000 when cycling from St. Charles to Clinton, and the 6th addition in 2003 when cycling from Clinton to St. Charles.
This book is great for planning out your itinerary before your trip. It includes, campgrounds, bed and breakfasts, resturaunts, motels, bike shops, contact information, and more. There is also stories, history, tidbits of information, and suggestions for side trips that will add to the experience. There is also a section that lists that answers to frequently asked questions about the trail and planning a trip.
Businesses along the trail come and go, so it is best to have the most up-to-date version of this guidebook with you. Also, be sure to stop at Bret Dufer's bookstore in Rocheport. There, you can meet that author, and find many interesting books.

Summary: Great resource
Review: This book is a great resource! It has profile of each town on the trail, including the services available. It also includes lots of interesting history, as well as many off-the-beaten-track points of interest. However, things along the trail change every year, and this book is almost due for another update.

Summary: Updated Fifth Edition Available Early October 1999
Review: With the Clinton to Sedalia section now open, I have updated the book and added 26 more pages of the things you have been asking for. The new fifth edition is geared to travelers coming from out of state and has many new camping and lodging listings, coupons and updated maps and photos.
