How many miles is it from the Martin Luther King trail in Columbia to McBain?

Just to clarify: There isn't much of a trail at MLK park--there's a lovely garden, a shelter, picnic tables, and restrooms. It is one of the trailheads along the Columbia MKT trail, which runs another 2 miles or so to the Flat Branch area of downtown Columbia.

I do not know the answer but the stop in Rocheport is wonderful. Nice bike rental, nice park, great map, and relaxing little place to park.

OK, I have to clarify.

I think you mean to ask how long Columbia's MKT trail to McBaine. It is 8.8 miles from the trail head in downtown Columbia to Hindman junction on the Katy. From Hindman Junction to McBaine is roughly a quarter to half a mile.

HOWEVER: There is the Martin Luther King memorial along the MKT trail. It is at the approximate 1.5 mile marker on the MKT. That would make it about 7.5 miles from McBaine, give or take a few hundred yards.

Hope that helps!
