Anyone that is cycling near MKT trailhead should make a detour to Columbia to visit their vibrant downtown. Lots of little shops, cafes & restaurants.

On May 4 I was in Columbia and planned on riding the MKT to the KATY trail, but because of flooding the trail wash shut down and blocked off about 6 miles from Columbia. I don't know if it has opened ups since then. There was also a trail in Columbia I tried to ride and it was in terrible shape (Hinkson Creek Trail, I think).

I live in Columbia and it does have a really good trail system and a very interesting downtown area. The MKT trail ends at Flatbranch Park, which is right on the edge of downtown.

This has been a very wet spring, but to the best of my knowledge the trails have been repaired.

Definitely worth the detour! At Hindman Junction (just west of McBaine) which is
approximately 8 or so miles from Rocheport you hook up to the MKT Nature and Fitness Trail
into Columbia. It is about 9 miles to the heart of downtown Columbia to Flatbranch Park.
Many local restaurants with great food. I would highly recommend the Flatbranch Pub and
Brewery for some awesome food! It is a flat easy ride into Columbia.

P.S.: That section is open. If it floods in the spring they are very good at getting it back to
normal as quickly as possible....usually within a day or two. It generally takes a lot of rain to
cause problems and that stretch to Columbia is sweet! :)
