I'm not real familiar with the trail thru Booneville. How close does the trail get to the Comfort Inn?

The Comfort Inn is about a mile east of the Katy...just north of I-70 and a few miles south of Booneville.

If you are riding east to west on the Katy, after you pass the depot in Booneville you will pass through a long stretch of residential district, up a grade for quite a ways and through a small tunnel under a roadway. It's probably 4-5 miles from the depot to the Comfort Inn.

There is a clearing on your left side near mile post #194. A trail through the clearing leads to the Fuqua Homes manufacturing plant. Somewhat confusing there......but, ride through their parking lot toward the south and onto the blacktop road....it will lead you to the Comfort Inn (about a mile) which will be on your right with a truckstop on your left.

We have found the Comfort Inn staff to be very friendly and accomodating. No problem taking your bikes to your room or leaving your car in their parking lot for a few days while you are on the trail.

Enjoy your trip!

Thanks for the info. Can you see the Fuqua homes plant from the trail?

I dont recall being able to see it.....the trail is tree lined. You can see the mile maker and the clearing tho.

Want to be really comfortable in Boonville? Try the River View suites--right on the Missouri next to the trail, kitchen, luxurious, soft beds, a deck that overlooks the river..and the price is pretty reasonable.

Both the Comfort Inn and the Holiday Inn Express are right off the trail.....for about half the price.
