Machens, Missouri on the Katy Trail

Mile 26.9

The Missouri DNR is working on extending the Katy Trail beyond St Charles, to Machens.  This wil add another 13 miles to the eastern end of the Katy Trail. On October 30, 2006, the St Louis Post Dispatch published a story stating that all involved parties are nearing an agreement on finishing the trail to Machens.  And on February 8, 2007 they published another story with the state's announcement of plans for starting work should on the extension.

We'll keep the website updated with any new developments.

DNR statement:
     The incomplete section from St. Charles to Machens is very important to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Currently, construction is progressing on this section of the Katy Trail. However, there have been several legal issues involving the property rights and "right of ways" along this particular portion of the trail which have caused delays in its planning and construction. Many of these issues have been resolved, but there are several which remain. For that reason, we are unable to give you a completion date at this time. Please know that as soon as the legalities can be resolved, it is the intention of the department to finish the eastern section as quickly as possible.

OK, I am going to open this topic up again.
I am about three weeks from finishing off my trail hike, and I am needing updated information on the St. Charles to Machens segment. Am I correct when I say you can take 94 out of St. Chuck and it goes directly to Machens? I understand there is no parking, but I am just needing to be picked up.
