The Katy Trail officially ends at St Charles, but you can actually continue east/north for a few more miles. The Department of Natural Resources hopes to open the extension to Machens soon, which is 11 miles beyond St Charles.
I am planning to ride the entire trail from Clinton to St Charles but am having difficulty getting information on how to get from St Charles to the Amtrak. Any information would be appreciated. Reply here or send to cricket1215@hotmail.com Thanks

I am one of the owners of "My Grandpa's Farm" which is located at 3925 South Highway 94 which is two miles south of Defiance directly off of highway 94. The Katy Trail is our Eastern border.The farm was originally owned by the Daniel Boone Family beginning around 1800. The Boone family stayed there until circa 1910.
We still have the original barns, a 500 year old catalpa tree, and heirloom plants and animals from Boone's time. There is a restaurant on the property and commercial craft and produce stands. Our season starts the end of March and we would love to have everybody come and visit. We give free lemonade to all who come and visit the farm. Individuals, families, and groups are all welcome. My phone number is (314) 369-9179.
